Waring.-Dugdale writes: "In this parish (Solihull] have lived several families of ancient gentlemen, amongst others, Waring. The first mention of them is in 21 Henry 7, their seat being called Berry Hall, but they anciently lived within the precincts of Tanworth. "In 511 Ed. 3, and 2 Ric. 2, John Waring was in Commission for gathering subsidies. He was succeeded by Thomas Waring, who in 12 Henry 6, was stiled `Armiger' of which family was Lady Alice Waring, Prioress of Henwood. They continue to possess their ancient lands to this day, and have much adorned their house by matching with divers very good families, viz., Butler of Elmedon, Baskerville of Gresley, and Middlemore of Eggebaston. Their arms are, Azure, a Chevron betwixt 3 Lions passant Or." The Warings entered a pedigree of eight generations at the Visitation of Warwickshire, 1619. Admiral Sir John Borlase-Warren, of Stapleford, Notts, was descended from these Warings of Tanworth, though he claimed to be descended from the Warrens of Pointon in Cheshire, and it is remarkable that on the strength of that baseless claim, Viscountess Bulkeley (who died in 1837), left large estates, including Pointon, to Sir John's daughter and heiress.
