This place, also called Rowland’s Leigh, belonged at an early period to Rowland de Nymett, whose descendant, Sir Walter, was possessed of it in the reign of Henry III. It was afterwards in the family of Wolrington, whose heirs were the families of Hache and Buckington. The manor has long been dismembered.
The parish comprises by computation 468 acres. The living is a discharged rectory, valued in the king’s books at £6. 1. 3., and in the gift of William Henry Tanner, Esq.: there are about 90 acres of glebe. The church is a plain edifice.
