LOCATION
The twin villages of Aston Tirrold and Aston Upthorpe, which are
merged together as one, lie at the foot of the Berkshire Downs in
the valley just off the A417 Wantage to Streatley on Thames road as
it extends across the Downlands close to the historic Ridgeway
Path.
On the Downs there are numerous iron age, Roman and Saxon
earthworks and relics and the villages are believed to date from
Saxon times as tradition recalls that King Ethelred and his brother
Alfred later the king , heard mass in the village before defeating
the Danes nearby. Indeed Aston Upthorpe s All Saints Church was
built on Saxon foundations, whereas St Michael s Church in Aston
Tirrold, dates from 1080 and was later remodelled in the 13th
century. The Astons had a tradition of Presbyterianism and in 1728
a Presbyterian chapel was built, being one of the oldest in
existence in the country.
The villages boast numerous period properties of considerable
character, reflecting the growth and prosperity through the
centuries, many being listed as of significant historical and
architectural interest. Nowadays the villages successfully retain
their tranquil rural charm and way of life with farming and the
land still being the dominant local activity, along with a notable
thoroughbred Stud where many famous racehorse stallions stand.
There is a village hall built in 1964, a sports cricket ground, a
village pub, and a repair garage.
There are good road communications to the surrounding towns
including Didcot and Wallingford and the fast A34 dual carriageway
linking Newbury with Oxford is a short drive. The M4 motorway at
junction 12 or 13 is also within easy striking distance. Nearby
stations at Cholsey and Didcot for trains to Reading and London
Paddington.
In addition to having well revered and outstanding local state
primary and secondary schooling nearby, the area is also extremely
well served by an excellent range of private schooling, of
particular note; Cranford House School, The Oratory Preparatory
School, Moulsford Preparatory School, St Andrews Preparatory
School, The Oratory School, Pangbourne College, Brockhurst &
Marlston House, Downe House, Rupert House School, Shiplake College,
The Abbey School, Bradfield College, The Manor Preparatory School,
Abingdon School, Abingdon Preparatory School, Radley College, and
St Helen & St Katharine.
Crossrail Elizabeth Line services have commenced from Reading,
connected to directly via multiple nearby railway stations such as
Didcot, Cho;sey, and Goring & Streatley, with the full service
scheduled to commence shortly, which together with the completed
electrification of the line has significantly improved travelling
times to East and West destinations.
