EDIWESTON, (Rutland) to the S. E. of Okeham, bel. formerly to an abbey in Normandy, and afterwards to the priory of Carthusians near Coventry. At the Diss. it was held by Francis Coniers, Esq; by lease from the said priory; but afterwards Edward VI. granted it to William Marquis of Northampton; after his death without issue, it passed to his nephew, Henry Earl of Pembroke. The Ld. of the manor not very long ago was Cha. Halford, Esq; whose ancestors had their seat here towards the beginning of the last century.
