About Adstock
Adstock is a village and civil parish about 2.5 miles northwest of Winslow and 3 miles southeast of Buckingham in the Aylesbury Vale district of Buckinghamshire. The 2001 Census recorded a parish population of 415.
The village has a couple of good pubs that do good food and accommodation for those that would like to stay over. The Folly Inn in Abstock is the perfect base from which to explore this wonderful part of the country. The main attraction in Buckingham is the Old Gaol, which dominates the town centre, and is well worth visiting. Take a step back in time at this historic prison and learn about the history of the town. The area is perfect for walkers with mile upon mile of countryside just waiting to be explored.
After the Norman conquest of England, its name was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Edestoche which is Old English and means Eadda's Farm. Nearby Addington was named after the same person. In the mid to late 11th century the manor of Adstock was given by William the Conqueror to his illegitimate son William Peverel, who was listed as its owner in 1086. This suggests that the manor was of some value, or that its previous owner was of some prominence in Anglo Saxon society.
The village received a charter to establish itself as a town briefly in 1665 so that a market could be held there. This was due to the majority of the people from the two local towns of Winslow and Buckingham being infected with bubonic plague. The charter was removed, however, in 1685 and Adstock was reinstated as a village rather than a town.
The parish church, which dates from the 12th century, is dedicated to St Cecilia. The roof is dated 1597, and the church underwent further major restoration during the Victorian era. There are two bells in the church, the lightest of which dates back from about 1440.
Adstock also had an outstation from the Bletchley Park code breaking establishment, where some of the Bombes used to decode German Enigma messages in World War Two were located.
