WULSTON, (Warwickshire) or WOLSTON, a large p. on the Avon, on the S. E. side of Coventry, had formerly a mon. that was a
cell to an abbey in France, which granted it to the canons of Tutbury; and some lands here did bel. to the monks of Burton
upon Trent, Kenilworth, and Combe. Sir John Shelley, who had this manor in the R. of Ja. I. conveyed it to George Warner
and his heirs, who have held it since. The mon. above-mentioned was long before the Diss. granted to the Carthusians
priory near Coventry, but afterwards it came to Roger Wigston; from whose family it went by marriage to Nich. Wentworth,
who left it to his son, Sir Peter; from whom it passed to Fisher Wentworth, alias Dilk, and from him to John Andrews, who
sold it some years ago to Mr. Pinchin, son of a packer in London.
