In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Newnham Paddox like this:
NEWNHAM-PADDOX, a hamlet in Monks-Kirby parish, Warwick; near Watling-street and the Fosse way, 5½ miles N N W of Rugby. Real property, £1, 530. Newnham-Paddox House has been the seat of the Feildings, Earls of Denbigh, since the time of Henry VI.; is a handsome and commodious mansion, of centre and wings; and contains the dagger with which Villiers Duke of Buckingham was assassinated, and a choice collection of family portraits, works of art, and articles of vertu. The hamlet was formerly called Cold Newnham and Newnham-Parva; and it is a meet for the Atherstone hounds.
