WESTON-KING'S, (Gloucestershire) below the hot well in Henbury p. bet. the Avon and the Severn, is the place where Will.
III. landed from his expedition to Ireland in 1690. It was anciently the demesne of the crown; but at and before the
conquest was part of the manor of Berkley, though it is 12 m. from it. It is now the estate of the Hon. Edward Southwell,
Esq; whose grandfather, Sir Rob. Southwell, secretary of state for Ireland, purchased it in 1678. It commands a fine view
of several Cos. as well as of the city of Bristol, and of the shipping in the Severn; King's road being at an easy
distance from it.
