Etymology
'Rush manor', from OE rysc and byrig, dat. of burh . The name would be appropriate to a prehistoric fort, but there is no record of such a feature here. rysc occurs with other habitative terms, particularly tūn .
As treated here, the parish contains the six townships of Eastwall, Gretton, Rushbury, Stoneacton, Wall under Heywood, Wilderhope and Stanway. This was the situation after some rearrangements in 1883. Further changes in 1967 have been disregarded.
