Quinton, Warwickshire

Quinton is a civil parish in the Stratford-on-Avon district of Warwickshire, England, about six miles south of Stratford-upon-Avon.

The Domesday Book recorded that these were two of about seven manors given to Hugh de Grandmesnil following the Norman conquest (he had larger rewards in other counties).

Upper and Lower Quinton were listed under Gloucestershire: The same Hugh holds Upper Quinton.

[2] Lower Quinton was the site of the notorious murder in 1945 of Charles Walton, in what was believed by some to have been a witchcraft-related ritual killing.
