History

Dormston's toponym has evolved from Deormodesealdtune in the 10th century via Dormestun in the 11th Century and Dormyston in the 15th century before reaching its present form.[2] Dormston existed by the 10th century, when King Edgar confirmed a grant of property at Dromston to Pershore Abbey.[2]

The Church of England parish church of Saint Nicholas has a 14th century nave and chancel.[2] Its timber-framed bell tower was added late in the 15th century, and the largest of its three bells is of the same period.[2] The two other bells were cast in 1613 and 1640.[2] The Gothic Revival architect C.C. Rolfe restored the church building in 1899.[3]
