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. J.H.R.)
