Tunstall, Lancashire

Tunstall, Kent

Tunstall is a village in the Borough of Swale in Kent, England. Situated to the south of Sittingbourne, Tunstall is a small linear village. Notable sights include St John the Baptist Church, the associated Church of England primary school and large village manor house, and a former police house which is now a private residency. Unusually for an English village there are no shops or pubs within the village boundaries, these have been prohibited since the middle-ages. Due to the small nature of the village, the only amenity is a telephone box.

On an Ordnance Survey map of Suffolk, England, there are two settlements named Tunstall next to each other, 7.5 miles (12.1 km) north east of Woodbridge. However, these are not two separate villages but one, despite the gap between the main village and the hamlet known as Tunstall Common. Both lie within the parish of Tunstall.

The village itself is a good sized settlement with a pub (The Green Man), and church called St Michael's, notable for its unusual box pews. Half a mile away, Tunstall Common has a dozen houses and a Baptist chapel. Residents of the hamlet consider themselves to live at Tunstall on the Common, and letters are either addressed to The Common, Tunstall, or Tunstall Common.

The Common itself is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), a beautiful fragment of the ancient sandling dry lowland heath that was once extensive across this area of coastal Suffolk. It lies next to Tunstall Forest, which was started in the 1920s as a pine plantation. In the Great Storm of 1987, Tunstall Forest lost thousands of trees and the opportunity was taken to diversify the mix of trees planted. The area has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is a haven for wildlife, including fallow deer and muntjac. The adjacent Rendlesham Forest is known for the former RAF Bentwaters site, now in private ownership, and alleged alien sitings in the 1980s.

I've come across a Tunstall

I've come across a Tunstall High School in Virginia USA, it's not really a place but, could be mistaken for one of our high schools.

The other thing about our Ozzy friend, was I'd spent all that day trying to pin point which Tunstall, and when she came back after several posts saying her Grand Mother had said "it was near to the Potteries" you have to assume it was this one.

Great idea by the way Dereth, nice one.

The other good thing that

The other good thing that came out of the other post was that I had an email chat with local Historian Fred Hughes who'd provided me with a suggested place.

This might be of particular interest to you Dereth, as Fred's work is based on his love of Burslem, he's written a Book called the Mother Town (see link below)

However Fred is close to publishing a new book on the Stoke-on-Trent federation, so I'll keep anyone with an interest in local history posted.
