Daintry Wood

Early-attested site in the Parish of Tingrith

Etymology

In 1242–3 Walter FitzSimon held land in Tingrith (Fees 890).He seems to be the same as the Walter Fitz Simon who held land in Daventry or Daintry (Nth) (Fees 935), and if so this wood preserves a trace of his holding (cf. VCH iii. 436).
