In Domesday Book the land at Silvington was valued at £0.5. The tenant-in-chief remained the abbey of Saint-Rémi in Rheims. Earl Aelfgar had gifted Silvington to that abbey in the mid-11thc along with other lands in Staffordshire. There is no mention of a church in DB, but in the early 12thc a cleric named Aluric and his family rented Silvington from Saint-Rémi. (Eyton 1857, 380)
