STOURTON-CASTLE, a seat in the SW of Stafford; 3¼ miles W by N of Stourbridge. It was the birthplace of Cardinal Pole; was taken in 1644, by the parliamentarians; belonged once to the Hamptons; and passed to the Grazebrooks.
Stourton is now part of SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE District. Click here for graphs and data of how SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Stourton itself, go to Statistics.
