Ashperton

Ashperton is a small village, parish and former manor about twelve miles east of the City of Hereford, in Herefordshire, England.

The manor of Ashperton is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086, following the order of Radlow hundred in Herefordshire.

The text is translated as follows:[2] On 3 May 1292 William de Grandisson (d.1335) received a licence to crenellate his manor house at Ashperton.

[3] It was the birthplace of his younger son[4] and eventual heir John de Grandisson (died 1369), Bishop of Exeter in Devon, who was heir to his elder brother Piers de Grandisson (d.1358).

The village is home to a large poultry farm (owned by Cranberry Foods) which is used as a "brood and move" site for turkeys and occasionally for rearing intensive broiler (meat) chickens.
