Hi all, looking for information on any Lindop family from the Norton in the Moors area from 1750 to 1810. OR can anyone suggest a line of investigation say into tenant farmers at that time. Also does anyone have any information on the area of Norton known as "New Inn Bank" as it has cropped up on some christening information around 1790 - 1805.

Hi Victor, you might find some information about tenant farmers in manorial records. You would need to know which manor the land belonged to (not always the obvious one unfortunately!). The Staffordshire Archives web site has a list of manorial records that they hold (a PDF download). The Manorial documents Register lists records held more widely.
For example,
Manor of Norton court books 1647/8-1809, 1810-1931 are at SRO ref. D1798/71; 597/1-10
The records of the Manor of Newcastle under Lyme were a gold mine of info on my Tittensor ancestors.
Regards.
