KINGSTONE, Herefordshire - Extract from National Gazetteer, 1868

"KINGSTONE, a parish in the hundred of Webtree, county Hereford, 6 miles S.W. of Hereford, its post town, and 4 N.W. of the Tram Inn railway station. It is situated on the road from Ross to Hay. The land is partly in hops, and the soil of various qualities, but generally fertile. The appropriate tithes have been commuted for a rent-charge of £219, of which £105 is payable to the Dean of Hereford, and the vicarial tithes for £205. The living is a vicarage annexed to the rectory of Thruxton, in the diocese of Hereford. The church, dedicated to St. Michael, is a commodious stone structure, with a new square tower containing five bells. In the interior are several monuments. The charities produce about £80 per annum. There is a small school for both sexes, supported by Archdeacon Wetherell. There is a place of worship for the Baptists."

"RUDHALL, a seat of Lord Ashburton, in the parish of Kingstone, county Hereford, 2 miles N.E. of Ross."
