| | GENUKI: Cannock Parish 1834 Directory |
 | | CANNOCK is a large and well built village, situated on the western verge of the extensive heath or chase from which it has its name, on the turnpike road between Walsall and Stafford, 8 miles N. by W. of the former, and 9 miles S.S.E. of the latter town. |
 | | The PARISH OF CANNOCK is very extensive, comprising about 20,000 acres, of which nearly one-half is uninclosed on Cannock Chase; but the cultivated portions of it are generally fertile, having a good light soil well adapted to the growth of corn, turnips, and grass. |
 | | CANNOCK WOOD extends from two to four miles N.E. of Cannock, and is the township which includes part of Beaudesert Park, and the ruins of an abbey on Radmoor, as already noticed. |
