For the municipality in Quebec, see Adstock, Quebec
•
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.
The township was itself named after the village of Adstock in Buckinghamshire, England.
Between 1557 and 1560, he was rector of at least four parishes: Milton Keynes, Twyford, Sherrington Aldworth, and Adstock; and two or three of these he must have held together.
