Alston (name)
Alston is an English language surname with several derivations, and a male given name. Origins The name may have evolved from the Middle English given name "Alstan", the prefix, ''Al-'' itself derived from different Old English words ("noble", "elf", "old", "shrine", "temple"), and the suffix ''-stan'' ("stone") derived from pre 7th century Old English. The oldest public record of this derivation is found in 1279 in Cambridgeshire. One branch of this name may have been taken from the manor of a Saxon Lord called Alstanus, who had his manor in Stambourne, North East Essex. It is known that he was still in possession of the manor after the Norman conquest, although as a tenant rather than owner, he held the land annexed against the King. There are a high density of families with the surname Alston and Alliston from around the Sudbury area, not far from Stambourne. In the 1224 feet of fines it is recorded that John son of Adam de Alliston sold land at Stanfeld (Stansfield) Suffolk. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alston, Suffolk
Alston was a medieval parish in the county of Suffolk. Without enough people to ensure its survival, the parish was consolidated with that of Trimley St Martin as early as 1362, according to John Blatchly in the 1975 revision of the 1937 book ''Suffolk Churches and Their Treasures'' by diocesan architect Henry Munro Cautley (1875-1959). The group of houses now called Trimley Street was in the parish of Alston. The parish included the still-surviving Grimston Hall, as well as the church St. John the Baptist, which was demolished before the Reformation. At the end of Trimley Street today there are two cottages to the right, and in the field to the left, the church St. John the Baptist stood.

In the Domesday Book, it was used for some territories north of the River Ribble included together with parts of Yorkshire.
