In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Little Lawford like this:
LAWFORD (LITTLE), a township in Newbold-upon-Avon parish, Warwick; on the Northwestern railway, 2¾ miles W by N of Rugby. Real property, £1, 366. Pop., 64. Houses, 6. The manor belonged to the Allesleys; passed to the Boughtons; was the scene of the poisoning of Sir Theodosius Boughton in 1780; and went by sale, in 1793, to the Caldecotts. The mansion on it is Holbrooke Grange, and superseded a previous mansion of the Boughtons.
