DOSTHILL HOUSES, -two miles from Tamworth, (to which it is a hamlet) and 114 from London. In 1821, it contained 13 houses and 51 inhabitants. In 1826, its annual value was estimated at £925, and its proportion to the county rate; included with Kingsbury and Hurley ;- the latter was valued at £2847.

In the neighbourhood is Dosthill-house, the seat of W. Dickenson, Esq. and Dosthill-lodge, the seat of B. Peel, Esq. At a short distance is Fazeley; and Drayton Park, the seat of Sir Robert Peel, which, though bordering the county, forms a part of Staffordshire.

WILNECOTE,-25 miles from Tamworth, (to which it is a township)-contained 139 houses and 653 inhabitants in 1821. In 1826, its annual value was estimated at £2075, and its proportion to the county rate at £8 12s 11d. Wilnecote-Hall is the seat of Major Bamford.

AMINGTON and STANIDELE or STONEDELPH, not being noticed in the Conqueror's Survey, caused Dugdale to conclude that they formed a portion of Wilnecote. They are townships in the parish of Tamworth, from which they are distant 1 mile, 10 from Coleshill and 113 from London. In 1803, the parochial rates amounted to £192 12s. at 4s. in the pound. In 1811, the population was about 200. In1821, they contained 49 houses and 257 inhabitants. In 1826, their annual value was estimated at £3947, and their proportion to the county rate £16 8s. 11d.

SECKINGTON,-a village, 4 miles from Tamworth and 116 from London, is a a parish in the Hundred of Hemlingford. In 1803, its parochial rates amounted to £71 10s. 7d. at 1s. 104d. in the pound. In 1811, its population was about 130. In 1821, it contained only 23 houses and 126 inhabitants. In 1826, its annual value was estimated at £1247, and its proportion to the county rate was £5 3s. 11d. It is a rectory, value £5 16s. Sir Francis Burdett, Bart. patron.

The church was dedicated to All Saints, and at a short distance from it, on a hill, are the vestiges of a circular fort. In the year 757, this village was the theatre of war, between Cuthred, king of the West Saxons, and Ethelwald, king of the Mercians; the latter was slain, during the sanguinary conflict, by a traitor of the name of Beornred, who was shortly after put to death by king Offa, who succeeded Ethelwald.

SHUTTINGTON, or SHUTTENDON, or SHUTTENTON,-three miles E. by N. from Tamworth and 112 from London, is another place supposed to have belonged to Seckington, not being mentioned in Doomsday-book. It was given by Wm. Burdett to the monks of Aucote, except a portion of its lands, which he had previously disposed of to the nuns of Polesworth. It is a parish in Hemlingford hundred. In 1803, its parochial rates amounted to £215 2s. 6d. at 6s. 9d. in the pound. In 1811, its population was about 170. In 1821, it contained 30 houses and 169 inhabitants. In 1826, it was valued at £1730 and its proportion to the county rate was £7 4s. 2d. It is a curacy, value £ô.

The property of Aucote priory was, after the dissolution, granted to Thomas, Lord Audley, subsequently obtained by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, and from him it passed to queen Elizabeth, it is said, in exchange for other lands.
