I lived in Great Witley for a number of years and read all available histories about it as some of my Worcestershire ancestors lived there. The village, including Red Marley, was owned by a succession of wealthy landowners including Foleys, culminating in the Dudleys, who entertained royalty at Witley Court, and finally a Mr. Smith who owned the Court when it burned down dramatically in the 1930s and I found no reference to Chartism. The confusion is frequent between the 2 Red Marleys in Worcestershire.
