In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Milton like this:
MILTON, a village and a chapelry in Norton-in-the Moors parish, Stafford. The village stands on the Caldon canal, near the Burslem or Longport station of the Potteries, Biddulph, and Congleton railway, 2 miles E of Burslem; and has a post office under Stoke-uponTrent. The chapelry was constituted in 1865. ...
Pop., about 1,200. The inhabitants are employed chiefly in the potteries. The living is a p. curacy in the diocese of Lichfield. Value, not reported. Patron, the Right Hon.B. Adderley. A Wesleyan chapel, in memorial of the late Rev. S. Lee, a native of the village, and the first missionary to New Zealand, was built in 1865; is in a foreign pointed style; and contains 300 sittings.
