Etymology
'Hoda 's hill,' v. hyll . Germund and Osbert held manors here in 1235 (Fees). Dugdale (218) speaks of that part of Hodnell which belonged to the nuns of Nuneaton as Great Hodenhull.The manor of Schutenholdenhull was held by one Simon de Hodenhull (1242 Fees). For schuten , 'filthy,' cf. NEDs. v. shitten . Such terms of reproach are not uncommon in local usage but seldom find their way into documents. John de Bruys is mentioned in connection with the place in 1260 (Ass ). Cf. le Bruscroft 1353 AD iv.
