Font Notes:
The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 4, 1947) notes: "In about 1170 Bishop Richard of Coventry confirmed to the Priory of Kenilworth the church of Hampton with its chapels, [...] of which one is definitely said in 1216 to be at Nuthurst. [...] As late as 1567 Edmund Fulwood of Tanworth granted certain lands to trustees for the support of a resident priest and the repair of the chapel, [...] but by 1591 the chapel was 'decayed' and as such was among properties granted to the notorious land speculators Tipper and Dawe."
