• Notes

  Edward Aston of Tixall was a descendant of William de Ferrers who was a descendant of Margaret de Quincy who was a descendant of Magna Charta Suriety Saier de Quincy (a Crusader who died in Palestine 3 Nov 1219). Tixall is a small village and former civil parish in the English county of Staffordshire lying on the western side of the Trent valley between Rugeley and Stone, Staffordshire and roughly 4 miles east of Stafford. Deriving from the Old English 'Ticheshale' the name is said to mean 'hollow of the goats'. The village, and former civil parish, of Ingestre is nearby. The civil parishes of Tixall and Ingestre were merged into a single parish of Ingestre with Tixall in 1979. A notable building of Tixall is Church of St John the Baptist. At this site a free chapel has existed since the 12th century but the present church was built in 1848 by the Hon John Chetwynd Talbot, son of the 2nd Earl Talbot of Ingestre. It is built of local sandstone with a roof of Staffordshire blue tiles. The floor tiles are by Minton. The oldest grave in the churchyard is reputed to date from 1627. [2]
