ADSTOCK is a parish, in the hundred and union of Buckingham, from which town
it is situate 4 miles S.E., and 3 N.W. of Winslow. There is a tradition that
in the time of the plague, Buckingham and Winslow being much infested with
it, a market was held here for some time. The church is a very ancient
structure, dedicated to St. Cecilia, with square embattled tower and two
bells. Some of the windows are very handsome. The chancel contains a
monument to three successive rectors of the same family, named Thomas
Egerton, who held the living from 1587 to 1720, since which time, (including
the present rector, recently appointed,) there have been only four
incumbents. The last rector, the Rev Adam Baynes, held the living nearly
sixty years. The benefice is a rectory, in the archdeaconry of Buckingham,
and patronage of the Bishop of Oxford, gross annual value, near £300;
present rector, the Rev John Hart. There is a Parochial School, and the
Wesleyans have a chapel here. A bequest of 2 acres of land is for the
repairs of the church; the poor's land comprises about 3 acres. The
population of the parish in 1861 was 385; acreage, 1130.
