KINGSBURY, (Hertfordshire) at the W. end of St. Albans, has its name from the Saxon Ks. who often kept their court here,
till it was purchased by the monks of the neighbouring abbey, to whom the resort of so many of the nobility thither was an

James I. to Ld. Verulam; by whom it was conveyed. to Sir Tho. Meautys; and from him it passed to Sir Sam. Grimston, Bt.
