There are 6 villeins and 2 bordars with 2 ploughs. There is a hay (baia) which is (habem) half a league long and as much broad. It was worth 20 shillings ; now 30 shillings.

There 1 This was probably the wood in Hatton parish adjoining ' Wegenok ' (Wedgnock) Park and taken into the park by Thomas de Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, under the name of Wegenok-Donele Wood (Dugdale, p. 182). Dugdale evidently for- got these particulars given by himself, and on p. 591 suggests that Donnelie was ' Bel-desert ' (Beaudesert) just above Henley in Arden. Although it is going somewhat further afield, it has occurred to me as a possibility that ' Donnele ' is Honiley, which was adjacent to 'Wegenok ' Park. Hatton and Haseley were doubtless in ' Fernecumbe ' Hundred, for the reason given in the case of Snitterfield and Claver- don. (I suspect that ' Donnelie ' was Honiley, though the latter is a little to the northward. J.H.R.) ' Dugdale (p. 431) calls this 'an obscure vil- lage,' but according to his account of the place, it is a farm or grange between Pinley and Claverdon. Mr. Walker observes that Kington is shown on Gary's map of Warwickshire, 1806. Kington Grange is shown on the i-inch ordnance map of 1898. (Ancient Deed B 1802 is a grant of a messuage ' in Kynton abutting on the highway from Walton towards Warwick, of the fee of Claverdon,' a de- scription which answers to the position of Kington Grange.
