History
Edingale was mentioned in the Domesday Book as part of Derbyshire and belonging to Henry de Ferrers[4] and being worth two shillings.[5] The name of the village comes from Old English, with the meaning nook of land of Edin's (or Eadwine's) people.[6]
The village of Edingale is divided between the ancient parish of Alrewas in Staffordshire, and the ancient parish of Croxall, in Derbyshire.[7][8]
In 1831 the population of the Staffordshire village was 177.[9] By 1851 it had risen to 197, on about 850 acres of land, when the lord of the manor was the Earl of Lichfield, though the land belonged to a number of other persons.[10]
Landmarks
A number of houses in the village are listed Grade II, as is the Church of the Holy Trinity and associated buildings. The village of Croxall also has a number of historic buildings.[11]
