Profile

A manor of 2 hides at Newbold in the Avon basin in central Warwickshire was held freely (libere) in 1066 by Alsige, Æthelræd, and Tubbi (Tubbi 3), in unknown proportions and perhaps as members of the same family. None of the three had any other land. It passed after the Conquest to the count of Meulan.

A second holding at Newbold (Warws. 9:1) is identifiable from its possession in 1086 by Malmesbury abbey as the later manor of Newbold Comyn in the parish of Leamington Priors (i.e. the modern Leamington Spa). ‘The whole vill of Newbold’ later belonged to Malmesbury (VCH Warws. VI, 158), so the count of Meulan’s share of the Domesday vill must have lain outside the later parish of Leamington. On the presumption that it adjoined Newbold Comyn, it can only have been the southern projection of the oddly-shaped parish of Lillington, along the eastern side of Newbold Comyn and fronting the river Leam.
