St Marys Church Kington, Herefordshire “KINGTON is a market town and parish, delightfully situated and embosomed in a fertile valley on the borders of Radnorshire, and almost surrounded by water, having the river Arrow (which is famous for its superior trout) on the south side, and the Bach brook on the north and east sides. The town is intersected by the main roads leading from Hereford to Aberystwith, Hay to Presteigne, and Radnor to Leominster, and is distant 14 miles W. of Leominster, 20 N.W. by W. of Hereford, 14 N.E. of Hay, 30 N. by N.E. of Brecon, 7 S. of Presteigne, 6½ E. by S.E. of Radnor, 9 W. by N.W. of Weobley, 6 W. of Pembridge, 60 E. of Aberystwith, 21 from Llandrindod, and 152 by road and 168 by rail W. by N.W. of London.” “THE PARISH OF KINGTON comprises an area of 8,313 acres; and is divided into five townships, viz., Old Kington; New Kington; Upper and Lower Hergest; Barton, Bradnor, and Rushock; Pember's Oak, Chickward, and Lilwall. It is situate in the hundred of Huntington, and is the head of a union, county court district, polling district; and petty sessional division. The town consists of four well-built streets, which contain several good shops, two excellent hotels, and several respectable inns. The spirit of improvement has of late years much animated the inhabitants, many new houses having been erected, and old projections taken down; and the whole town has assumed a more regular, uniform, and modern appearance. The houses are chiefly built with stone, from the Hergest, Bradnor, and other quarries in the neighbourhood.” “HISTORY, GOVERNMENT, ETC.-The name of this town is written in, ancient documents in several different ways, as Chingtune, Kingstown, Kyngton, Kynton, Kinton, Kineton, Keighton, and Kington; the latter of which, and the most usual at present, is the correct one, having been given to it in honour of King Edward the Confessor, who obtained possession of property in the district in the 11th century. A celebrated writer has conjectured that the town derived its original name, Keynton, from Keya or Kine, signifying cattle, or cows - that is, the place of sale for them.” See copy held of “The History of Kington (1845)” by Richard Parry |
