KINGSTON, (Nottinghamshire) on the Soare, near Leicestershire, was formerly the seat of the Babingtons, till a part of it
was forfeited by Anth. Babington, for being in a conspiracy against Q. Eliz. and the other part was sold by his brother
Francis to George E. of Shrewsbury, whose daughter, the Css. of Kent, conveyed it to the Lady Hide; whose descendant, Sir
Thomas, was not very long ago the owner of it.
