LOCATION
The twin villages of Aston Tirrold and Aston Upthorpe, which are merged together as one, lie at the foot of the Berkshire Downs in the valley just off the A417 Wantage to Streatley-on-Thames road as it extends across the Downlands close to the historic Ridgeway Path.

On the Downs there are numerous iron-age, Roman and Saxon earthworks and relics and the villages are believed to date from Saxon times as tradition recalls that King Ethelred and his brother Alfred (later the king), heard mass in the village before defeating the Danes nearby. Indeed Aston Upthorpe’s All Saints Church was built on Saxon foundations, whereas St Michael’s Church in Aston Tirrold, dates from 1080 and was later remodelled in the 13th century. The Astons had a tradition of Presbyterianism and in 1728 a Presbyterian chapel was built, being one of the oldest in existence in the country.

The villages boast numerous period properties of considerable character, reflecting the growth and prosperity through the centuries, many being listed as of significant historical and architectural interest. Nowadays the villages successfully retain their tranquil rural charm and way of life with farming and the land still being the dominant local activity, along with a notable thoroughbred Stud where many famous racehorse stallions stand. There is a village hall built in 1964, a sports/cricket ground, a village pub, and a repair garage.

There are good road communications to the surrounding towns including Didcot and Wallingford and the fast A34 dual carriageway linking Newbury with Oxford is a short drive. The M4 motorway at junction 12 or 13 is also within easy striking distance. Nearby stations at Cholsey and Didcot for trains to Reading and London Paddington.

In addition to having well revered and outstanding local state primary and secondary schooling nearby, the area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of private schooling, of particular note; Cranford House School, The Oratory Preparatory School, Moulsford Preparatory School, St Andrews Preparatory School, The Oratory School, Pangbourne College, Brockhurst & Marlston House, Downe House, Rupert House School, Shiplake College, The Abbey School, Bradfield College, The Manor Preparatory School, Abingdon School, Abingdon Preparatory School, Radley College, and St Helen & St Katharine.

Crossrail (Elizabeth Line) services have commenced from Reading, connected to directly via multiple nearby railway stations such as Didcot, Cholsey, and Goring & Streatley, with the full service scheduled to commence shortly, which together with the completed electrification of the line has significantly improved travelling times to East and West destinations.
