Aston is a small rural village in the district of West Oxfordshire, in Oxfordshire, England. The name, like many Astons, comes from Old English meaning “east farm” and the settlement has the low‑key, limestone‑built character associated with the northern Cotswolds: stone cottages, rolling arable and pasture, and a sense of long domestic and agricultural history that often includes a small parish church and a few listed buildings.
Life in Aston is largely shaped by farming and by close links to nearby market towns such as Witney, Burford and Chipping Norton, with easy access to services and transport towards Oxford and beyond (rail and extra amenities are available from places like Charlbury). The village appeals to walkers and country‑house visitors, and socially tends to revolve around village events, local pubs and community gatherings typical of West Oxfordshire life.
