 The Battle Beside the Trent
Disputes had arisen over the years between the Mavesyns and the Handsacres, whose lands were divided by the natural boundary of the Trent.
Mavesyn’s object was to reach the King at Burton, or join him on his march; Handsacre’s to meet Percy’s forces coming from the north…the fight took place… The result was that Sir William Handsacre was killed.
The tomb of Margaret Woodford, the grand-daughter of Sir Robert Mavesyn and Sir William Handsacre is in the Chapel of the church.

 Page Title
The Handsaker family origins is traceable to the year 899 AD to a man of presumable Anglo/Saxon heritage named Hermitage deHodesacre, who was granted land by King Alfred the Great of England.
Today this land area encompasses two villages that have grown together and are collectively known as "Armitage with Handsacre" in Staffordshire, England.
The early Handsacre family story contains a rich Scottish royal heritage that overlaps with the early English Royal Family and nobility, spanning a time period of more than 400 years.

 Pipe
Similarly, across the river in Handsacre, the Saxon lords held the manor under the Bishop of Chester.
Later documentation however indicates that other landowners including the Earl of Stafford in 1393 and William de Handsacre had claims to land within the manor.
The name is derived from the family of Pipe who came into the manor in 1286 by the marriage of Maud, the daughter of Thomas de Thamenhorne to Robert de Pipe.

The Minister advised Mr Fabricant that over 1,000 objections had been received including the petition of over 300 names submitted by Mr Fabricant to the Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott.

 Great Grey Shrike   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Something of a rarity in Staffordshire, this Great Grey Shrike attracted plenty of attention from local birders when it arrived in late December at an area of marshland adjacent to the river Trent near Handsacre.
An aggressive hunter for its size (about the same size as a flbird), the Great Grey Shrike will prey on small birds and mammals which it will occasionally impale on a thorn or spike before eating.
This bird was also observed hovering in a manner similar to a Kestrel, but closer to the ground.

Once again all the birds will be new ticks for me. Usually I start my year in Norfolk but this time I elected to start local in the hope that I would start my new year off with the Great grey Shrike at Handsacre, a bird I saw on Xmas day.

Nothing else was added until we arrived at Handsacre at 08:15 but what a 4th of the year tick it was.
