About Us

Our heritage starts in the Mediaeval period more than 400 years ago when William Shakespeare, who lived nearby, had recently retired.

The Poor's Land Trust (established 1612) is a registered charity number 236182, and its recorded activity is "running of the church piece allotment gardens and distribution of surplus revenue to needy people of the parish of Mickleton"

​

The Church Pieces Allotments are situated on the Stratford Road on the outskirts of the village. There are approximately 60 plots at any time which are rented as a whole plot, half or a third sized plot.

​

We are lucky to boast several community groups working for the good of the people of the parish, and beyond, on their rented plots.
