The village was in existence prior to being mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Survey. It derives its present name from the ancient family of the Paceys, to whom it formerly belonged in 13c and 14c.
The former church built in 11c - 12c , www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/8HMZ16 was given to the Yorkshire Priory of St. Oswald of Nostell by Eytrop son of the Domesday tenant Humphrey, and confirmed by his son Eytrop. The latter's grandson Robert Hastang in 1221 disputed the charter which the prior produced and said that it was made after his grandfather's seal had been stolen out of a chest in the church of Leamington Hastings; Robert later confirmed the prior's right to the advowson. In 1344 Nostell sold the church to Queen's College, Oxford the vicar they presented being made responsible for the upkeep of the chancel and ornaments. It was united in 1932 with Moreton Morrell and continues in the gift of Queen's College
After possibly a period of plague the villagers moved from around the church to the northern hamlet of Ashorne
