Description:Teddesley Home Farm was built in 1767. In 1820 an overshot water wheel was installed to power a stationary threshing machine. The original wooden wheel was replaced by an iron wheel in 1838. There was a similar, slightly earlier water-powered threshing machine at White Barn, Shugborough.

Teddesley Hall was built some time between 1742 and 1754 by Sir Edward Littleton, 4th baronet, and was designed by Charles Cope Trubshaw of Little Haywood. After the death of the 3rd Baron Littleton in 1930, the Littletons moved to Hatherton Hall.

During the 2nd World War the Hall was requisitioned by troops and as a Prisoner of War camp. It then stood empty until it was demolished in 1954. the Service and Stable block was retained.
