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.

Notes:

Grace Chetwood (Chetwode) was a descendant of the House of Anjou-Plantaganet. She also was a descendant of Magna Charta Sureties Saier de Quincy and John de Lacy. Others in her ancestry were the House of Normandy, Kings of Scotland, House of Capet, Kings of France, Carolingians, Emporers of the West, Emporers of the East, Princes of Wales, and Spanish Rulers. From Bulkeley "...Grace Chetwood was descended form an ancient family of Buckinghamshire [Chetwode]...we rely chiefly on the pedigree from the parchment roll which some years ago was in the possession of Sir George Chetwode...She...stemmed from manorial families and it so chances that through her great-grand-mother, Anne Talbot, she descended from many of the great historic families of England, such as the Talbots, the Percys, and the Nevills...Anne Talbot had fourteen legitimate lines of descent from the first Plantagenet King of England."

Grace married Peter Bulkeley about Apr 1635 in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Peter (son of Edward Bulkeley and Olive Irby) was born on 31 Jan 1582 in Bedfordshire, England; died on 9 Mar 1657/58 in Concord, Middlesex Co, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
