'from Motburlege to Mobley'

Within the pages of this book you will find details of the name origins, place names, and the history of the early Motburleges. It contains a catalogue of names up to 1841 and an introduction to our early American namesakes.

'A Place Called Catshill'

Here is my latest book entitled ‘A Place Called Catshill’. It contains 31 photographs, some of which have never been published before, and covers local geology and environment, early history and industry including a lengthy account of nailmaking. There is a mass of detail about Catshill’s chapels and churches, education and the old dialect, village road names, pubs and shops, a chapter on the Houseman family and much more. The Appendix includes the names of property owners listed in the 1690 Poll Tax, the 1837/8 Register of Electors, Principal traders in 1911 and nail makers of the early 1900’s.


This limited publication is the only known professionally published history of the village up to 1981, and includes the contents of my booklet produced almost thirty years ago. The printed book is currently sold out but is available on CD.
