By the time of Domesday the manor of Aston formed part of the manor of Northwick and was probably given to the bishop of Worcester. Part of the manor of Aston was held by the sheriff, Urse d'Abitot. It was given to Robert de Evercy by Bishop Theulf (1113-23). Robert de Evercy held it in 1166, and the advowson may also have been granted to him, because in 1204 the same Robert or a descendant sought confirmation of his right to it. The part of Aston known as White Ladies Aston was named after the Cistercian priory of Whitstones, to the N of Worcester, which held the manor from the mid-13thc. to the Dissolution.
