Background
History
The toponym is first recorded in 1287, in the form Asschirche, meaning "church near the ash-tree". In the Middle Ages Ashchurch was part of the parish of Tewkesbury, but after the dissolution of the monasteries in the 16th century became a separate parish. It was a large parish, including the village of Ashchurch and the settlements of Northway, Aston Cross, Aston on Carrant, Pamington and Natton. The parish became a civil parish in 1866. The parish once extended even further west to include the area called Newtown, but this was transferred to Tewkesbury in 1931.
