Residential manor of the Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield. In 1298 there was a capital messuage here with a garden, together valued at 26s 8d (VCH).

Gatehouse Comments

This was presumable near to Cannock church (given map reference) rather than Cannock Castle Ring although it is also possible the site of manor house and court moved during the period and Radmore might be one of the sites of the manor.
