HISTORY
Minworth's name probably came from ''Mynna's Estate''. Minworth and Curdworth both originated in the 6th or 7th Centuries, being established by Angle settlers, and are historically associated with the Arden family ( William Shakespeare 's maternal relations). Peddimore Hall is a double moated farmstead and can be associated with the Arden's from 1298 until 1659. The present farmhouse can be dated to the 16th century.
Plans to revitalise Minworth in the past have been met with a cool reception. A council plan aimed to construct new housing, shops and encourage new industry into the area. However, the residents did not back the plan as they had wanted Minworth to remain the same. Another plan to develop an 11-acre patch of land into a canal-side marina was also met with a disapproval from the residents who did not want the Birmingham-Fazeley canal to become a busy area''Walmley and its surroundings'' (Chapter V: Minworth), Douglas V.
