Historical Description

ANSTY, in Domesday “Anestie,” but originally “Heanstige,” is a parish on the road from Coventry to Hinckley, half a mile south-west from the Shilton station, on the Trent valley branch of the London and North-Western railway, 5 ½ miles north-east from Coventry and 92 from London, in the North-Eastern division of the county, Kirby division of the hundred of Knightlow, petty sessional division and county court district of Coventry, Foleshill union, rural deanery of Monks Kirby, archdeaconry of Coventry and diocese of Worcester. Previous to the Norman invasion this parish formed part of the possessions of Godiva, wife of Earl Leofric, and afterwards came into the Conqueror’s hands. The church of St. James was at first a chapel built for the poor, and with the tithes was restored to the monks of Coventry by Ranulph, Earl of Chester, temp. Henry I. and so appropriated by Roger de Longespee or de Molend, Bishop of Coventry, in 1268; it is a building of stone in the Perpendicular style, consisting of chancel, nave, north aisle, south porch, and an embattled western tower with spire, containing 4 bells; the spire was erected in 1856 in memory of Major-General Henry William Adams C.B. who died from wounds received at the Battle of Inkerman, fought Nov. 5, 1854. There are 230 sittings. The register dates from March 7th, 1589. The living is a vicarage, consolidated with that of Shilton in 1884; average tithe-rent charge £37; joint net yearly value £199, including 63 acres of glebe in the gift of the Lord Chancellor, and held since 1886 by the Rev. Temple Chevalier Pyemont Pyemont. The Oxford canal passes through the village and adjoining to it is Ansty Hall, pleasantly seated, the property of Mrs. Woollcombs-Adams, who is lady of the manor and principal landowner. The soil is loamy; sub-soil, clayey. The chief crops are wheat and beans. The area is 990 acres; rateable value, £3,645; the population in 1891 was 127.

The children of this place attend the school at Shilton.
