KINOULTON, a parish in the southern division of
the wapentake of BINGHAM, county of NOTTINGHAM,
9 miles (S. E.) from Nottingham, containing, with the
extra-parochial liberty of Lodge-on-the-Woulds, 370
inhabitants. The living is a discharged vicarage, in the
peculiar jurisdiction of the Vicar, rated in the king's
books at £7. 18. 11., and in the patronage of the Archbishop
of York. The church is dedicated to St. Wilfrid.
There was anciently a chapel at Newbold, in this parish,
but no vestiges of it are now visible. The Grantham
canal passes through the parish, and the old Fosse road
forms its western boundary. Kinoulton is in the honour
of Tutbury, duchy of Lancaster, and within the
jurisdiction of a court of pleas held at Tutbury every
third Tuesday, for the recovery of debts under 40s. In
the neighbourhood is an excellent chalybeate spring,
called the Spa. Here was formerly a palace belonging
to the Archbishops of York, but there are now no vestiges
of it.
