Sir Robert Peel was MP for Tamworth from 1830 to until his death in 1850, and in 1834, he issued the first party political manifesto, known as the "Tamworth Manifesto".
His father Robert Peel (who was born at Peel Fold)had been MP for Tamworth from 1790 until his death in 1830. The family lived at Drayton Manor.
