Ashchurch

Ashchurch is a village in the Borough of Tewkesbury in the ceremonial county of Gloucestershire, England, 2 miles east of the town of Tewkesbury, 11 miles southwest of Evesham, 10 miles north of Cheltenham, 13 miles north-north east of Gloucester and 10 miles south of Pershore.

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. From 1935 until 1 April 1974, Ashchurch was part of the Cheltenham Rural district, then was incorporated into the new Tewkesbury district.
