This interesting book describes the life of the small village of Stonnall, south west of Lichfield, from its Iron Age origins through to the present day. The village has always been dependent on the land for its livelihood and caring for the wildlife around us is more important than ever. This book charts flora and fauna in Stonnall at a time when many species are under threat, from wild flowers and the humble bee to the endangered lapwing. Despite a lack of official records and documents to chart the history of the village in the twentieth century, the first hand memories of villagers have provided a wonderful illustration of country life during a century of great change. The book also looks at how the Old Chester Road has dominated Stonnall for centuries, and how church and education have impacted on village life right up to the current day. We hope this book encourages its readers to take pride in the village they call home and wherever possible, protect the interests of all those who will live here in the years to come.
