Ansley is five miles
west of Nuneaton. The church of St. Lawrence is Norman in origin, and Ansley
Hall dates from the early eighteenth century. Ansley Hall was taken over by the
Ansley Hall Coal and Iron Company founded by William Garside Phillips, the
Great grandfather of Captain Mark Phillips, the first husband of The Princess
Royal. The village was called Hanslei in the Domesday Book of 1086 and gives
the details that the land was owned by the Countess
Godiva.
The Parish Registers can be found at Nuneaton Library or at Warwick County Record Office.
