Adstone is a village and civil parish in South Northamptonshire, England. It was known as Atenestone in the Domesday Book.
History
Adstone was a chapelry within the parish of Canons Ashby until 1866, when it was promoted to a parish.[2] The parish church, dedicated to All Saints, is of Norman origin, ca. 13th century. It was heavily restored in both 1843, when the chancel was added and again in 1896.[3] Since 2006 the parish has formed part of the Lambfold benefice along with the parishes of Blakesley, Maidford, Litchborough and Farthingstone. The Manor House is late 17th century, the Old Vicarage dates to 1870 by Edmund Francis Law, the school to 1846 and the Methodist Chapel is 1849 in Georgian style.[3]
The Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales in the 1870s described Adstone as follows:
