MERSTON-BUTLER'S, (Warwickshire) on the S. W. side of Kineton, noted for the battle near it bet. the forces of K. Cha. I. and the Pt. bel. anciently to the Boteler's family; from which it went by marriage to Nevil, and then to Gascoign, and was by Sir Will. Gascoign sold in the R. of K. Hen. VIII. to Thomas Ld. Cromwel, who forfeiting it, the K. gave it to Rich. Farmour, and his heirs; but for want of male issue, it reverted to the crown, and was given by Edw. VI. to Peter Temple of Derset in this Co. and Tho. Lee of Clatercote in Oxfordshire. The former sold several parcels of it in the R. of Q. Mary; particularly the manor-home, and a large portion of the demesne, to John Woodward; but the greatest part was sold to Tho. and Edw. Savage.
