Hi, I am trying to find out about the history of the village of Fradley, Staffordshire & would welcome any help please.

I have several generations of Jones ancestors who were farmers in Fradley throughout the 1700's & 1800's & indeed into the 1900's too. Rye Croft Farm was the name of one of the family farms.

Another of my Jones ancestors was the village wheelwright & the family also owned a threshing machine which was hired out for the use by other farmers.

Another Jones ancestor became the landlord of the Bell Inn beerhouse in the village & I would welcome any info about the Bell Inn please.

Should anyone have any pictures too I would be very grateful please & I would willingly pay for any costs involved.



With many thanks,

Brock
