The Allcroft Family: From Worcester to Stokesay (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781535416658)

This book chronicles the story of the Allcroft family. It starts in late 1700s Worcester, and sees the rise of the family as elite glovers running the famed Dent, Allcroft & Co. In the 1860s John Derby Allcroft purchased the historic Stokesay Castle and created the Stokesay Court Estate, building himself a massive new family home in rural Onibury. Subsequent generations dominated south Shropshire. The last of the family was Lady Jewell Magnus-Allcroft, the wife of celebrated biographer Philip Magnus.
