Newbold-Pacey (St. George)

NEWBOLD-PACEY (St. George), a parish, in the union of Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick division of the hundred of Kington, S. division of the county of Warwick, 5¾ miles (N. W. by N.) from Kington; containing, with Ashorn hamlet, 357 inhabitants, and comprising 1786 acres. This place had its distinctive appellation from the family of Pacey, who were anciently its lords. Ashorn is supposed by Dugdale to derive its name from its eastern situation from Newbold, ash, anciently written esse, implying "east," and horn, altered from hyrne, signifying "a corner." The living is a discharged vicarage, valued in the king's books at £8. 3. 9.; net income, £639; patrons, the Provost and Fellows of Queen's College, Oxford.

Transcribed from A Topographical Dictionary of England, by Samuel Lewis, seventh edition, published 1858.
