History
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). 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.[2] Upper and Lower Quinton were listed under Gloucestershire:
The same Hugh holds Upper Quinton. There are two hides. One thegn held it. In demesne two ploughs and five villans and one bordars with three ploughs. There are four slaves and one female slave. It was worth £7, now £4.
The same Hugh holds Lower Quinton and Roger holds of him. There are twelve hides. Baldwin held it TRE. In demesne three ploughs and seventeen villans and two bordars with nine ploughs. There are six slaves. It was worth £7, now £6.[3]
