Background
History
The name of Aston Botterell is derived from the Old English for "eastern settlement (tun)", with 'Botterell' being the name of a former local landowning family: William Botterell is recorded as holding the manor in 1203. His family came over with William of Normandy in 1066. Before Saxon times, the only evidence for human activity in the area comes from the discovery of two flint arrow heads found near what is now Bold Farm. The Domesday Book of 1086 describes the manor of Eston at the time as having a population of 14 households with 2 villeins, 3 bordars, 6 serfs and 3 radmans; it was held by Tochil, from Rainald, and is recorded as having been held by a landowner called Elric in the time…
