Gregory King’s Notebook 1680
Gregory King was a surveyor, mapmaker and herald of Lancaster. King’s 1695 survey of taxes and their geographical and demographic distribution in Great Britain include some of the first proper estimates of population in Great Britain. By 1695 King was started on a second official career in the business branch of the state. He was a commissioner in charge of a new tax on marriages, births and burials and later Secretary to the Commission of Public Accounts and Secretary to the Controllers of Army Accounts; in 1708 he was one of the three commissioners appointed to state the debts of the late King William. King could well have been promoted as the coordinator for the 1701 Parish Listing for Stoke-upon-Trent. (see surveys)
The 1680 listing comprises of the number of houses in Penkhull (in Stoke); Clayton; Seabridge; Handley Green; Bucknall and Little Fenton.

A dispute between King Henry III of England and his powerful barons led in 1262 to an uprising known as the Barons’ War. The King emerged victorious. He seized the possessions of two of the rebel leaders: Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester and Robert Ferrers, Earl of Derby, granting their estates to his son, Edmund Crouchback, in 1266. The following year, 1247, Edmund was given the manor of Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire known as the Honour of Tutbury. From his father. In 1416 a survey of the Manor was executed which included Shelton and Hanley, Clayton, Penkhull, Shepruge, Wolstanton, plus farms. Therefore, this list of copyholders which includes a description of their and an rents is a formidable resource to any historian.
