Notes about this historic site
1 In 1564 this village paid a stone of wax yearly for maintenance of the lights in Stoneleigh Abbey. This place has also been depopulated; for, of twelve tenements that were here, only the Grange remained by the beginning of Henry VIII’s reign (1509).
2 A mid 19th century account mentions various embankments discernible immediately on the left of the high road between Kenilworth and Coventry.
3 These banks could represent the site of the village, but traces of a Medieval village are no longer visible.
