HILTON-ABBEY, (Staffordshire) near Brewood, once bel. to the Swinnertons, who were men of great renown in this Co. in the
Rs. of Edw. I. II. and III; but at the Diss. the site of the abbey was given to old Sir Edw. Aston, in exchange for some
of his paternal estates. His family held it for a time, till the late Sir Edward's son sold it.
