The village dates back to Anglo Saxon times, the parish church being founded by St Chad and it is mentioned in the Domesday book.

An Augustinian Abbey was founded in the Twelvth Century, the ruins are protected by English Heritage and are very peaceful. After the dissolution of the monasteries the estate was bought by a merchant called Leveson. The family became lords of stafford and later Dukes of Sutherland (as the Leveson-Gower family). The village and surrounds were the site of a lot of early industrial development in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, with relatively shallow deposits of coal and limestone being mined. As a result a very early example of the english canal network was dug - The Donnington Wood Canal and it's Lilleshall branch which were connected by an inclined plane. The Dukes of Sutherland became one of the richest families in the UK partly as a result of this industrial development and in the late nineteenth century built a new residence, Lilleshall Hall which lies at the heart of the estate a mile from the village. The sutherland estate was sold off between 1915 and 1917 and the hall eventually passed into state ownership as a sporting facility, it is now the Lilleshall Hall National Sports Centre, once the site of the FA youth Academy and now the home of Britsh gymnastics and Archery!
