Steeple Ashton is a small historic village in Wiltshire, England, a few miles south of Trowbridge. It centres on the striking medieval parish church of St Mary with its tall tower - the steeple that gives the village its name - and a collection of older stone cottages and lanes that hint at its past prosperity from the wool and cloth trade in medieval and early modern times.
Today Steeple Ashton is a quiet rural community with a village hall, a pub and regular local events; many residents commute to nearby towns or work in agriculture, and the village’s conservation-minded character, historic buildings and surrounding lanes make it popular with walkers and people seeking a peaceful base not far from larger centres such as Trowbridge and Bath.
