Description:A Wrench Series postcard printed in Saxony. The card was posted from Stafford on 11 October 1915 to an address in Sugnall, near Eccleshall. The Deer Park was north of Ingestre Hall covering a large area toqwards Weston Bank and Weston Hall. Ingestre Hall was built by Sir Walter Chetwynd in 1613. By the eighteenth century it had been acquired by the Talbots, who remodelled parts of the hall in the early 1800s. The Talbots became the Earls of Shrewsbury in 1856. After a fire in 1882 John Birch was employed to restore the building, which is now used by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council.
