In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Chartley Holme like this:
CHARTLEY-HOLME, or Chartley-Lodge, an extra parochial tract in the district and county of Stafford; adjacent to Stowe parish, 5½ miles SW by W of Uttoxeter. Real property, £9, 126. Pop., 36. Houses, 7. It belonged to the De Blandeville, the Ferrars, the Devereux, and the Shirley families; and belongs now to Earl Ferrers. ...
The main features of it are Chartley Park and Chartley Castle, the seat of Earl Ferrers; the latter a modern structure, burnt in 1847. Other objects are the tower of a castle, built in 1220 by Richard de Blandeville, and two round towers of a timbered house which was the prison of Mary Queen of Scots, and burnt in 1781.
