KNIGHTLOW HILL, or CROSS, which gives name to a hamlet in Warwickshire, stands in the road from Coventry to London, at the entrance of Dunsmore-Heath. About 40 towns in this hamlet, which are specified by Dugdale, are obliged, on the forfeiture of 30 s. and a white bull, to pay a certain rent to the lord of the hamlet, called worth-money, or sewarf-penny; which must
be deposited every Martinmas-day in the morning at this cross before sun-rise; when the party paying it must go thrice about the cross, and say the worth-money, and then lay it in the hole of the said cross before good witness.
