Caverswall

Caverswall is a village and parish in Staffordshire, to the south east of Stoke-on-Trent. It is located near the source of the River Blithe.

Near the village square are St Peter's Church of England Aided School, St. Peter's Church, St. Filumena's Catholic Church, the Primary School and the Red House, a public house. In the middle of the square there are a set of stocks.

Caverswall Castle may date from a Saxon manor house, but the fortifications date from a licence to crenellate (royal permission to fortify) granted in November 1275, although there may have been an earlier application in 1230. The castle remains were in-filled by a house in 1615 and the former moat has been landscaped. [cite web
