Stafford
The Sutherland Papers contain many documents which tell us about the history of important buildings in the County Town, from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. Documents concerning the sale of Greyfriars Monastery from 1581, now Greyfriars Business Park, are featured here alongside papers relating to Stafford House of Correction and the rebuilding of the Shire Hall. Wills made by the Williamson family, famous in Stafford’s political and civil culture, and papers relating to the Stafford Militia are just a few of the documents telling us about the history of Stafford from the sixteenth century onwards.
