History

The village was recorded in Domesday, as Widerdestune, meaning 'Wīgh(e)ard's farm'. It once was a township in the parish, and although less prominent because of the church at Edlaston, it eventually became the larger settlement, with 25 houses and 122 inhabitants by 1848. A key landowner of the time was William Greaves. Wyaston House was described at the time as a mansion and seat of Nathaniel Need. Wyaston Grove was occupied by Rev John Grundy. There was a Methodist chapel in the village until the 20th century.
