"BAYWORTH, a hamlet in the parish of Sunningwell, hundred of Horner, in the county of Berks, 3 miles from Abingdon. There are remains of a small church."
"KENNINGTON, a township and chapelry partly in the parish of Sunningwell, and partly in that of Radley, hundred of Hormer, county Berks, 2 miles S. of Oxford, its post town, and 3 N.E. of Abingdon. It is situated on the river Isis, and near the line of the Great Western railway. The village is small, and chiefly agricultural. The tithes were commuted for land and a money payment under an Enclosure Act in 1802. The living is a curacy annexed to the rectory* of Sunningwell, in the diocese of Oxford. The chapel-of-ease, dedicated to St. Swithin, fell down at the beginning of the present century, and was rebuilt in 1838."
