Aston Botterell is a village and small civil parish in the county of Shropshire, West Midlands, England.

[1] The area's economy is still largely based on agriculture, though many residents travel up to 12 miles (19 km) to work in other sectors such as the service and manufacturing industries.

[4] Before Saxon times, the only evidence for human activity in the area comes from the discovery of two flint arrow heads found near what is now Bold Farm.

[5][6] During the time of the Domesday survey, the village was in a district made up of what are now known as Aston Botterell, Norton and Charlcotte; however they were split up not long after the Norman Conquest of 1066.

Richard Knight, the owner of Bringewood Ironworks, was recorded as leasing Charlcotte blast furnace as early as 1712, though it may have been in existence in the 1690s.

[9] The economy of Aston Botterell has always been very much dependent on agriculture and to an extent is still today; it is situated on Old Red Sandstone, which provides good farming conditions.

[12] An economic analysis performed by Shropshire County Council in 2008 revealed that workers in the Bridgnorth region typically work more hours than the English average and have a lower weekly wage.
