Offlow is a hundred in the county of Staffordshire, England, located in the south-east of that county. It is named after a tumulus or mound in the parish of Swinfen and Packington, 2+1⁄2 miles south of Lichfield.[1] The hundred is recorded in the Domesday Book under the name "Offelav".[1]
Derivation of name
Offlow tumulus in parish of Swinfen and Packington,2½ miles south of Lichfield.
The name of the hundred derives from Old English Offa, a personal name and hlaw meaning 'hill' or 'mound'.[1] A large number of Hundred names refer to hills or mounds. Some of these at least are very conspicuous hills, which afford a commanding view of the countryside for miles around. It seems likely that such sites were chosen as hundred meeting places being remote and where interference was most easily avoided.[2] In the case of Offlow, it is a small hill rising to 367 ft. ,[3] centrally placed in the hundred. The hill is now used for a radio mast.,[4] rather than a hundred meeting place.
History
The origin of the hundred dates from the division of his kingdom by King Alfred the Great into counties, hundreds and tithings. From the beginning, Staffordshire was divided into the hundreds of Offlow, Pirehill, Totmonslow, Cuttleston and Seisdon.[5]
Looking north towards Offlow hill
Lichfield left the jurisdiction of Staffordshire, and Offlow Hundred, when the city was created a county separate from Staffordshire by a charter granted by Mary I of England in 1553, which came into effect with the election of its own Sheriff in December that year.[6]
In the 19th century Offlow was the largest in population of the five hundreds of Staffordshire, with a population in 1871 of 250,790 excluding parliamentary boroughs or 299,588 including them, representing 35% of the county.[7]
The importance of the hundreds declined from the 17th century, and most of their functions were extinguished with the establishment of county courts in 1867. In 1894 the hundred was made obsolete with the establishment of urban districts and rural districts in Staffordshire.[8]
