About

Eccleshall is a market town in Staffordshire with a compact centre of shops, pubs and small businesses. The parish church of St Mary sits close to the market area and older stone houses and narrow streets surround the site of Eccleshall Castle, which served as a residence for the Bishops of Lichfield. Regular trading and community events take place around the town square, and a cluster of independent traders and craft outlets continues the town’s long commercial role for nearby farms and villages.

Yarnfield lies a short distance from Eccleshall and is largely residential, anchored by Yarnfield Park, a conference and training centre set within mature grounds on the site of a former government training college. Footpaths and lanes link the two settlements through hedged fields and small woodlands, passing churchyards, cottages and practical farm buildings. Local life revolves around village halls, parish groups and school facilities rather than major retail centres, and the area is used by walkers and riders who follow waymarked rural routes between settlements.
