During Keyser's lordship, John Marius Wilson's "Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales" listed "Adminston" as a possible name for the village. On his death in 1929, his wife, Mary, continued to occupy the house until she died in 1938. The estate was auctioned off in September 1938, and many lots were purchased by their occupiers. The manor house was bought by Associated Electrical Industries (AEI) for £16,000. One of the houses in the village is recorded as having fetched £1,375. As AEI's chairman, Felix Pole became the "de jure" Lord of the Manor upon their purchase of Aldermaston Court.
