HORTON, (Staffordshire) is a fine large manor, which takes up almost all the land bet. Endon-Water and the r. Churnet, and
is therefore called Horton-Court. In the R. of Hen. III. it belonged to the Audleys. The Earls of Bath had 1-3d of this
manor in the last century, and the other 2 parts remained in the family of the Touchets, till about the beginning of the
last century, when the Ld. Audley Touchet sold them to Egerton, Wallgrange and Wedgewood of Heracles. At Horton-Bay, a
hamlet in this p. there were at one goodman Stanton's four generations, all living at one time in the same house, and
eating at the same table.
