History
Stramshall has an entry in the Domesday Book of 1086 where it is recorded by the name Stagrigesholle. The manor was owned by the King and the main tenant was Alric who had owned the manor before the Norman Conquest.
The parish church of Saint Michael and All Saints' was built between 1850 and 1852 and was made a separate ecclesiastic parish in 1853.
The village hall in Stramshall was built in 1979 and is located in Vicarage Drive.
The decline of small scale farming in the area was accelerated by the 2001 foot and mouth outbreak and the closure of the cattle market in nearby Uttoxeter. The village has little commerce or industry within its boundary and acts as a dormitory settlement for the surrounding towns.
Transport
The village is served by the 32 and 32X bus from Uttoxeter to Hanley, Stoke-on Trent. The nearest railway station is at Uttoxeter for the Crewe to Derby line and the nearest international airport is East Midlands Airport.
Parish Council
Stramshall falls within the civil parish known as Uttoxeter Rural. The council meets once a month and they hold their meetings in the village halls of both Stramshall and the nearby village of Bramshall which they use alternately each month.
