ITCHINGTON, Kington division of the hundred of KINGTON,
county of WARWICK, 2J miles (N.E. by N.) from
Kington, containing 37 inhabitants. The living is a perpetual
curacy, annexed to the vicarage of Bishop's Itchington,
and in the peculiar jurisdiction of the Prebendary

oratory, containing an image of St. Chad, to which numerous
pilgrimages and offerings were made.
