A short history of Penkridge
A Bronze or Iron Age barrow at Rowley Hill shows early occupation nearby and the Roman settlement of Pennocrucium lay on Watling Street. The name probably comes from a Celtic term for a ridge's head. A charter of 958 gives the form Pencric and King Edgar called the place famous. In 1086 Domesday recorded nine priests of St Michael's holding most of the farmland from the king, with six slaves and seven villeins. In 1215 King John gave Archbishop Henry of London the right to appoint the dean and from 1226 the archbishops of Dublin held the post. In 1280 the church refused entry to the Archbishop of Canterbury. There are 46 listed buildings near the centre, led by the Grade I Church of St Michael and All Angels and the Grade II* Old Deanery.
