Parish History
Newborough is an Ecclesiastical Parish in the county of Staffordshire, created in 1784 from chapelry in Hanbury, Staffordshire Ancient Parish. Other places in the parish include: Hoar Cross.

NEWBOROUGH, a chapelry, in the parish of Hanbury, union of Uttoxeter, N. division of the hundred of Offlow and of the county of Stafford, 3½ miles (E.) from Abbot's-Bromley; containing 742 inhabitants, several of whom are employed in weaving linen and checks. The manor of Newborough belonged in the reign of the Conqueror to Robert, son of Henry de Ferrers, who enfranchised 101 of his tenants here, and granted them several immunities, so that there are now a number of freeholders. The manor of Agardsley, belonging to Earl Talbot, is in the chapelry. Holly Bush, a neat mansion, stands upon a fine eminence. The living is a perpetual curacy; net income, £91; patron, the Vicar of Hanbury, whose tithes in Newborough and Thorney-Lane have been commuted for £154. The chapel, dedicated to All Saints, is a plain building with a tower, erected about a century since. There are several small bequests for instruction, and a school is conducted on the national plan.
