This brook provided the energy for two powerful corn mills at Saredon and Deepmore, and was also renowned for the large number of trout it held.

[2] There was also a windmill in the middle of Little Saredon, which remained in use until at least 1872, its working life thereafter being slightly prolonged through the use of a portable steam engine to drive the stones.

In 1942, the remains of the sails were removed and the tower was converted into a house for the proprietor of Hawkins Tile Works in Cannock.

Great Saredon has a Roman tumulus on high ground, a quarter mile distant from, and facing, the A5.

Saredon contains 7 farmers, a maltster, a shopkeeper, 4 corn millers, a schoolmistress, a blacksmith, a shoemaker and a thrashing machine owner.
