is a small township in the parish of Oswestry, comprising 860A. 2R. 17P. of land, which is the property of Mrs. Louisa Lloyd, who is also lady of the manor.

Some of the beech trees are of immense size; and opposite the front of the hall is a large sheet of water. A little south from the hall is the _Domestic Chapel_, a neat structure of brick, with a square tower. It is stated, on the table of benefactions of 1792, in Oswestry church, that Mr. Thomas gave by will an annual payment of £2. 12s., to be distributed every Sunday at Aston chapel. A quantity of bread was formerly supplied by he owners of the Aston estate, now belonging to Mrs. Lloyd, and given after divine service in Aston chapel among the poor of the township. Divine service having been discontinued in this chapel, Mrs. Lloyd usually distributes a quantity of beef and bread on St. Thomas’s day.
