Notes about this historic site
1 In 1086 there were two priests in Stoneleigh and one of them had a chapel at Cloud. The priest was called Edmund the Hermit, presumably because this was a hermitage. Edmund was buried at this chapel. The property was claimed by Kenilworth Abbey after his death.
2 A place name ‘Chantry Heath’ existed just N of the bridge and could have related to the chantry. No further information was obtained.
