The Greyhound Inn, Penkhull
The original building dates back to circa 1540, during the time of the Tudor Royals, when it was built as a "one large room" yeoman's house.
From 1558 to 1829 it was used for the monthly Manorial court for the Mayor of Newcastle-under-Lyme, trying local residents on all manner of charges from stealing a loaf of bread to murder.
In 1704 the building was enlarged to its present size, and between 1802 and 1828 was owned by another yeoman, John Townsend, who divided it into three dwellings.
In 1829 one George Thomas Taylor bought the 1704 building and converted it into a Public and Victualling House, laying the foundations of the pub as we know it today. In 1936, Parkers Brewery of Burslem acquired the old c. 1540 hall and incorporated it into the Greyhound Inn that you see today.

St. Thomas Church, Penkhull
The ecclesiastical parish was created out of the parish of Stoke in 1844 when the church of St. Thomas was built. The church is by Scott and Moffatt. The Revd Thomas Webb Minton, the son of Thomas Minton and Rector of Darlington, gave the sum of £2,000 to be invested from which the interest provided an income for the Vicar. The aisles were added in 1892 by Edward Prioleau Warren.
