Whitgreave

Whitgreave is a very small village a few miles to the NNW of Stafford situated mid-way between the M6 motorway to the west and the A34 trunk road to the east.

It lies about 1.5 miles to the northeast of Great Bridgeford. The small 19th century village church of St John the Evangelist is of red-brick construction.

"Whitgreave or Whitgrove, is a township of 1620 acres and 185 souls. It includes several scattered houses, and a small village, lying in a pleasant valley, four miles NNW of Stafford." ["History, Gazetteer and Directory of Staffordshire," William White, Sheffield, 1851]
