Kington.

THis is that place (as I conceive) which I find written Cinton in the Conquerors Sur∣vey c, and there certified to have been at that time possest by the Earl of Mellent, and to contain one hide and a half, which was then wast, and valu∣ed at no more than v s. But the extent of the woods is not there recorded; howbeit the valuation of them is put at x s. which, with the rest had been the freehold of Britnod before the Norman invasion. All that I have further seen of this place is, that the Abbot of Bordsley had very an∣tiently two carucates of land here; for which in 4 E. 1. he was presented d to have withdrawn his suit xx. years before that time: but by whom or when it was given, I am not very sure: And that after the dissolution of the said Monastery, the same land, by the name of the Grange, Mannour, or Ferme of Kington &c. was granted e to Clem. Throkmorton Esq and Alex. Avenon and their heirs in 37 H. 8. Which Clem. dyed seized there∣of by the name of Kinton-Ferm, or Grange in 16 Eliz.
