Aston Clinton (W3)
Der Name des Ortes "Aston Clinton" in Südost-England könnte man wörtlich mit "Oststadt Bergstadt" wiedergeben. Der Name setzt sich zusammen aus aengl. "Estone" = engl. "eastern estate" und aengl. "clinton" = dt. "Bergdorf". Die Endung "-ton" in beiden Teilnamen ist der Vorläufer von engl. "town" = dt. "Stadt" und verwandt mit dt. "Zaun" und ndl. "tuin" = dt. "Garten". In allen Fällen geht es um "eingezäunte Plätze". Der erste Namensteil "estone" = dt. "Ost-Siedlung" spielt auf die relative Lage an. Der zweite Namensteil "Aston" kam im Jahr 1237 dazu, als die Siedlung in den Besitz der Familie "Clinton" kam. Trotz mehrfachen Besitzerwechsels in den folgenden Jahrhunderten blieb dieser Name erhalten.(E?)(L?) http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/part/92510

Before the Norman conquest of England in 1066 the settlement was held by Wlwen probably under patronage of King Edward the Confessor. The village is recorded in the "Domesday Book" of 1086 where in Old English it was called "Estone", which means "eastern estate".
The manor, later to be known as "Aston Clinton", was for a short period after 1100 under the control of Edward de Salisbury, who was King Henry I's standard-bearer. In 1217 King Henry III gave it to Sir William de Farendon. However, by 1237 the manor was owned by the de "Clinton" family, hence the name at that time of "Aston de Clinton". William de Clinton separated out from "Aston Clinton" a new manor called Chivery as a dowry for his daughter Alice. Sometime after 1239, King Edward I granted the estates to the Montacutes, who were the ancestors of the Earls of Salisbury. Their descendant the Countess of Salisbury was beheaded by King Henry VIII in 1541. Successive families owned the manor, passing by marriage from the Hastings to the Barringtons, Gerards, and then to Lord Lake of Aston Clinton later to become Gerard Lake, 1st Viscount Lake.
