ANSTEY, a parish in the county of the city of COVENTRY, 5 miles (N. E.) from Coventry, containing 205 inhabitants. The living is a vicarage, in the archdeaconry of Coventry, and diocese of Lichfield and Coventry, and in the patronage of the Crown. In 1719, the Rev. John Million left property for founding and endowing a free school for the education of poor children of Anstey and Skilton; of this benefaction there remains but £2 per annum, arising from the lease of a school-house, originally granted for five hundred years.
