Aston Pigott is a hamlet approximately 12 miles west of Shrewsbury within the parish of Worthen and Shelve.

The hamlet is situated on a small rise giving many of the properties an outstanding view across the Rea Brook valley to the Stiperstones.

The hamlet is served primarily by Worthen which is 1 mile to the west.

The name Aston Pigott probably evolved from East Tun or Town and from the name of the Picot family of Norman descent.

In 1180 Ralph Fitz Picot was granted lands by the Corbets, and it was Ralph's descendants, notably Robert Pigot in 1255 followed by Howel Pigot who established the modern village name.
