1544

In 1544 the manors of Whytmore and Bedulph, and twentyfour messuages, four cottages, 500 acres of land, 100 acres of meadow, 500 acres of pasture, 60 acres of wood, 60 acres of furze and heath, a water-mill, and £4 of rent in Whytmore Bedulph, Ansley, and Bucknall were settled on John Ireland, gentleman (son and heir apparent of Thomas Ireland, armiger) and Alice his wife, only daughter and heiress of Robert Boughey.

In 1546 the above-mentioned estates were settled on Edward Maynwaring, armiger, and Alice his wife for their lives, and to the survivor of them, without impeachment of waste, with remainder to the issue of Edward by Alice, and failing such issue, to Margaret Ireland, daughter of Alice, and her lawful issue, and failing such issue, to the lawful issue of Edward, and failing such issue, to the right heirs of Alice for ever. Thus the manor of Whitmore passed to the Mainwarings.[1]

Snape Hall farm was affected by the High Speed 2 (HS2), a high-speed railway line which is under construction in England. Although the phase that affected Whitmore was cancelled in 2023, before the cancellation a number of farms sold their land to HS2. Snape Hall Farm had 265 acres which had been farmed by the Slater family for 70 years. In 2023 John Slater, 38, ran the farm with his father Chris, 79. The Slaters sold 76 acres under compulsory purchase: the high speed line ploughed straight through their 265-acre holding with two tunnels and a viaduct in quick succession to counter the hillside and a main rail line.[15]
