Carington.

THis Town is not mentioned in Doomsday-book: It is of the Fee of the ancient Barons of Dunham-Massy, and gave name to the Family of the Caringtons, who were Lords thereof, and seated here very anciently.

In the Rental of Dunham-Massy, 3 Hen. 4. 1402. we read thus:—Georgius Caring∣ton Chivaler tenet Manerium suum de Carington, & medietatem Villae de Ashton, & tertiam partem Villae de Partington, pro duabus partibus Feodi Militis; ut per Chartam Antecessori∣bus dicti Georgii per Hamonem Massy Militem factam; & reddendo per Annum de Stuthe, aliàs dictum Sheriff-Tooth,—7^den.

The Family of the Caringtons of Carington flourished here for a long space, near 400 Years, until Sir George Booth of Dunham-Massy married Jane sole Daughter and Heir of John Carington of Carington Esquire, towards the end of Queen Elizabeths Reign; but had no Issue by her, yet enjoyed Carington's Lands, which after her death he recovered by a tedious Suit: Whose Grandson, George Booth Lord Delamere, is now possest of the whole Township of Carington entirely, 1666. there being no Charterer at all therein.
