TANWORTH, (Warwickshire) near Umberslade, was anciently a member of Brailes, though at such a distance, but has long since been an independent manor. It being in the crown, Henry VIII. sold it Sir Geo. Throckmorton, whose descendant sold it in the R. of Ja. I. to Andrew Archer; and in the Ch. here were anciently 2 chantries, whose lands after the Diss. were granted to Kenelm, Clement, and John Throckmorton, and their heirs. In the R. of Hen. VIII. this p. was certified to be 20 m. in compass.
