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.
Drayton manor as such has gone now it's just a theme park.

The railway line through here, was originally called the peel line, now the trent valley line.
