##WILLESLEY MANOR
Willesley Manorwas held as long as the reign of Henry III by the family of Ingwardby, William Ingwardby, who died in the reign of Henry IV, left two daughters and co-heiresses, one of whom married to John Abney and the other to Thomas de Stoke. The Willesley property thus came to the Abneys circa 1420. The elder branch of this family became extinct in 1791, by the death of Thomas Abney, whose heiress married General Sir Charles Hastings. The manor, impropriate tithes, and Advowson of benefice, are now in the hands of the Hastings,
The hall on the north side of the church, appears to have been built about the time of Charles I. In 1851it was reported to have been lately enlarged and repaired. It is situated in a park of 140 acres.
Willesley parish was described as being located in West Goscote hundred, Leicestershire and is a scattered village of pleasant houses, 2 miles SW by S from Ashby-de-la-Zouch. In 1851 the parish contained 910 acres of land,10 houses, and 53 inhabitants, of whom 28 were males.
The small church, which is dedicated t St. Thomas, consist of a nave and chabcel in one, and a small tower at the west end, built in 1845. Its area is 53 ft. 4 inch by 15 ft. 8 inch. There is no chancel arch, but a difference in the roofing shows the former division. On each side of the chancel is a pointed two-light decorated window from the early 14th century. This is the general date of construction of the church, but the walls of the nave have been raised, and debased square-headed windows inserted, at a later date. There is a good single-light window, with a trefoil head in the north wall of the navel near the west end, which is of 14th century work or earlier.
In the chancel windows are some fragments of old glass, as well as some more modern heraldic glass pertaining to the Hastings in the east window. In old glass, the coat of Ingwardby (on chief, gu, a semi-lion rampant, arg.) which was often assumed by Abney, is twice repeated; and there is also erg., a lion rampant, gu.,and per fesse, arg,, a lion rampant countercharged--both of which coats might pertain to several families.
On the floor of the chancel art two alabaster slabs, the figures and inscriptions of which are much worn, (See John and George "Henry" Abney).
In the tower are two small bells, but they bear no inscription, stamp or ornament.
In a letter dated Oct. 2 1915 Agatha A. Woodson described the Abney coats of arms, The first is the old Abney arms carried by our ancestors who came to England with William the Conqueror:
Abney (Willesley and Derby)---Ermine. Argent on a cross sable, five vezants. Fortiten et Honeste (Motto: Bravely and Honestly).

The second arms were bore by the Ingwardby family. On the marriage of one of the daughters of that house with " John Abney of Willesley Gent." from whom we are all descended, he took possession of the Manor of Potlock County, Derby and the Ingwardby arms, adding to it the motto of the Abneys. It follows:
Abney (Leicester and Derby) Arms--- A chief gules, a lion passant-rgent. Crest is a demi lion or a pellett between his paws, To this was added the Abney motto, "Fortiten et Honeste" (Bravely and Honestly).
Her description is taken from Vincents copy of visitation. The arms and recorded in London Plate CXXXVI fig. 53 and 54. They are also found in Burkes Peerage.
