Previous Lords:
Before the Conquest the main part of ASTON TIRROLD, then assessed at 15 hides, was held by the wife of Lanc. In 1086 it was in the king's hands. William Earl of Warwick returned one knight's fee held by Nicholas son of Torold (lord of Aston) among the lands held of him in 1166. The overlordship remained with the successive Earls of Warwick at least until 1446, and at the death of Anne Beauchamp in January 1448–9 it apparently lapsed to the Crown. Thenceforward the service, of two parts of a knight's fee, was attached to the honour of Wallingford.
