KINETON

The village lies about ten miles south east of Warwick. It is sometimes called Kington which gives rise to confusion with a hamlet of that name in Chesterton. The site of the battle of Edgehill in the Civil War is nearby. Combrook was a Chapelry, and there are two hamlets, Brookhampton and Little Kineton.
