Reading edition
Whewell, or Hewell Grange, had belonged to the Abbey of Bordesley, and had been given, soon after the dissolution of the monasteries, to Sir Andrew Windsor by Hen. VIII. in exchange for the manor of Stanwell in Middlesex. A new house was built at Whewell about 1712. “Here is a pleasant park having hills gently swelling, and a lake of clear water measuring above 30 acres.”Nash’s Worcestershire, Vol ii. p. 423.
