The greater part of Whoberley lay west of the Horwell stream, and was thus in Stoneleigh parish. The Whoberley estate occupied the part of the parish north of Tile Hill Lane and east of the modern Coventry by-pass. Hearsall Common was continued as Whoberley Common into Stoneleigh beyond Guphill Lane; this lane, also called Whoberley Lane, formed part of the boundary between Coventry and Stoneleigh, across and north of Hearsall Common, and probably took its name from the Gopyls or Gupyls, who held land in Whoberley in the late 13th and 14th centuries. There was a 'wrestling-place' on the parish boundary by 'the heath called Hearsall', in 1581. Five fields called Whoberley fields or Whoberleys lay on the east of Guphill Lane in St. Michael's parish, and were commonable by the citizens of Coventry in the 15th and 16th centuries.) Whoberley was later covered by a modern housing estate and playing fields.
There was a single house there in the 17th century and in 1850 Whoberley Hall was described as 'an ancient house formerly moated round'.
By 1906, however, it had been replaced by one of modern brick and in the Second World War there was an industrial hostel on the site. To the south of Tile Hill Lane the area between it and the railway is occupied by the extensive Standard works. The entire district became part of Coventry as a result of the boundary extensions of 1928 and 1932 in which a large area of Stoneleigh (c. 3,600 a.) was joined to the city.
