Gilson, Warwickshire
Gilson is a hamlet in the civil parish of Coleshill, in the North Warwickshire district of Warwickshire, England.[1][2] It lies between the M42 and the A446, on the B4117 road between the village of Water Orton and the small market town of Coleshill.
History[edit]
The first British record of the now extinct Aracites interglacialis Wieliczk was discovered in Gilson.[3] The settlement was recorded as Gudlesdone in 1232, coming from "Gyddel's Hill," itself a derivative of the name Gydda.[4] In the late Middle Ages, Gilson - a lordship in its own right - contained a cluster of homesteads.[5] By 1840, a Religious Tract Society provided the residents of Gilson, and neighbouring villages and towns, with tracts.[6] Gilson's Coleshill Hall, now Coleshill Manor, was home to the Coleshill Hall Hotel which was a psychiatric hospital established in 1929.[7] It is a Grade II Listed Building.[8][9]
