Kington
Kington is a market town, electoral ward and also civil church in Herefordshire, England. According to the Church, the ward had a population of 3,240 while the 2011 census had a population of 2,626. The name 'Kington' is originated from King's-ton, being Anglo-Saxon for "King's Community", similar to various other close-by communities such as Presteigne definition "Priest's Town" and also Knighton being "Knight's Town". Kington is to the west of Offa's Dyke so presumably this land was Welsh in the 8th century AD. The land was held by Anglo-Saxons in 1066, but ravaged. After the Norman Conquest Kington after that passed to the Crown on the failure of Roger de Breteuil, second Earl of Hereford in 1075. Before 1121 King Henry I gave Kington to Adam de Port, who started a new Marcher barony in this part of the early Welsh Marches. Kington seems to have been a quiet barony and also was associated with the office of constable of Hereford. In 1172, Adam de Port, most likely the great-grandson of Henry Port, rebelled and also left the nation. He returned in 1174 with a Scottish army, just to flee from the resulting Battle of Alnwick to the terrific mirth of the Norman court. With this his barony of Kington was taken by the Crown as well as ended up being an appurtenance of the office of Sheriff of Hereford, finally being provided to William de Braose, 4th Lord of Bramber in 1203 for £100. The castle after that saw action in the Braose Wars against King John of England and also was most likely to have actually been ruined by imperial forces in August 1216. Within a few years a new citadel was started as well as the close-by Huntington Castle as well as Kington Castle were deserted. All that continues to be of Kington Castle today is a great outcrop of rock covered by a couple of fragmentary earthworks. The old town gathered around the castle and Norman church in addition to a defensive hillside over the River Arrow. St Mary's church, located on higher ground over the community centre. 'Chingtune' was recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086, the name definition Kings Town or Manor, high on capital over the town where St. Mary's Church now stands. The brand-new Kington, called Kyneton in the Fields, was outlined between 1175 and 1230 ashore surrounding the River Arrow and also potentially designated as part of the Saxon open area system. Situated on the direct route the drovers extracted from Hergest Ridge and with 8 annual fairs, Kington expanded in significance as a market community and also there is still a prospering livestock market on Thursdays. The community maintains the middle ages grid pattern of streets and back lanes. In the chapel of St. Mary's Church, there is the alabaster burial place of Sir Thomas Vaughan of close-by Hergest Court, slaughtered at the Battle of Banbury 1469, and his partner, Elen Gethin. The ghost of Sir Thomas, as well as likewise that of the Black Dog of Hergest are stated to haunt the area around Hergest Ridge. The Black Dog's discovery reputedly presages death. It is likewise rumoured to have been the prototype for The Hound of the Baskervilles as Conan Doyle is known to have actually stayed at neighboring Hergest Hall quickly before he wrote the story.
