Sir Samuel Hellier, when he died in 1784, he left The Wodehouse to his friend Reverend Thomas Shaw on condition that he changed his name.
So Thomas Shaw-Hellier became the owner.
It remained the property of the Shaw-Hellier family for many years after.

But, apparently the grandson of the reverend rented the property out in the middle of the 19th Century?

Possibly Philip Stanhope, 1st Baron Weardale, the Liberal politician and his wife Alexandra Tolstoy?
Also it was restored in the 1870's - so maybe vacant?

The Staffordshire Sentinel, Saturday Sept. 29th 1860, in a report of the Cheadle Agricultural Society mentions a T. Halcomb Esq. of Woodhouse.

Not Wo(o)dehouse.
