Historical Description
Nuneaton, a market-town, said to have been originally called Eaton, a word that anciently signified the water-town, and was probably applied to this place from its situation on the river Anker; and afterwards had the epithet Nun prefixed to it, from a convent of nuns here, of the order of Fontevrault, in which, besides the prioress and nuns, there was a prior also, and perhaps monks; it was founded by Robert Earl of Leicester, in the reign of Henry the Second. A small part of the walls of this ancient building are now standing at the northwest end of the town, but the remains are so trifling that they are not sufficient to convey an idea of its original grandeur: the site was granted to Marmaduke Constable.
The town is rather large and well-built, and the church has a square tower, with six bells; also a clock and chimes; here is a manufacture for ribands; also a good free-school, founded by the inhabitants in the reign of Edward the Sixth, who gave to it three closes of ground, in the liberty of Coventry, to be held of the crown, as belonging to the manor of East Greenwich, in soccage.
NUNEATON, in Domesday, “Etone,” derives its name from the Anglo-Saxon “ea,” water and from the nunnery founded here in King Stephen’s time by Robert, Earl of Mellent and Leicester, about 1150; it is a market and union town, parish and head of a county court district in the North-Easterh division of the county, 97 miles from London, about 22 east-by-north from Birmingham, 5 ½ south-east from Atherstone, 13 south-east from Tamworth, 13 ¾ from Rugby, 9 north from Coventry, and 5 south-west from Hinckley, Leicestershire. Atherstone division of Hemlingford hundred, Atherstone petty sessional division, and in the rural deanery of Atherstone, archdeaconry of Coventry and diocese of Worcester. By a Local Government Order, which came into operation: March 25, 1888, a detached part of Chilvers Coton, known as “Sinnie,” or “Sinne Fields” was amalgamated with Nuneaton. The town lies low, but is pleasantly seated, having a rise in every direction, and is near the north-eastern (Leicester) border of the county, on a branch of the river Anker, which is crossed by three bridges. The Coventry canal passes close to the town, and the Trent Valley branch of the London and North Western railway runs through it, with a station at the bottom of Bond street. The South Leicestershire section of the Midland railway, from Leicester through Hinckley, has also a station here, joining the Midland line to Birmingham, via Whitacre junction, and there is besides a line from Nuneaton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. The ancient Roman road called Watling Street, “the pilgrim’s road,” forming part of the boundary of the Danelagh, passes within about 2 ½ miles of the town, on the way to Atherstone. The “Public Health Act, 1848” was adopted by the town July 16, 1850, and it was governed by a Local Board of Health, until the establishment, under the “Local Government Act, 1894,” of the Nuneaton and Chilvers Coton Urban District Council, formed 25 March, 1895, and consisting of 12 members; it is lighted with gas by a Company, and supplied with water by the East Warwickshire Water Co. from their works at Stockingford.
