Description:Pencil and wash drawing by Great Haywood born artist, Thomas Peploe Wood (1817-1845).
The Noah's Ark on Crabbery Street was originally built as a town house in the sixteenth century. In August 1575 Queen Elizabeth I took wine here during her journey through the town. In the late 1800s the building was altered when the road was widened. This involved removing a timber framed porch and the three-gable room above. The building was converted into offices in 1967, but reopened in 2012 as The Stafford Ale House.
