Aston Ingham

Aston Ingham is a village in south-eastern Herefordshire, England, near Newent and about 7 miles (11 km) east of Ross-on-Wye.

[3] The village was called Estune in the Domesday Book (1086), for the Old English ēast tūn, meaning "eastern farmstead or estate".

[7] In 1868, Aston Ingham was defined as a village, parish, and township in the Greytree hundred, on the border of the Forest of Dean.

May Hill between Aston Ingham and Longhope, with its distinctive clump of fir trees, was said to be a reference point for mariners in the Bristol Channel.

The current rock-faced, sandstone church has a chancel arch from that period and the blocked chamfered pointed doorway may also be from that century.

[3] The parish council meets at the Aston Ingham Village Hall, which is also used for other community activities and entertainment.
