Aston-on-Trent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aston-on-Trent is a Derbyshire village, situated in the English East Midlands, near Derby. It is adjacent to Weston-on-Trent and is near to Chellaston.
It is situated on the north bank of the River Trent, about a mile from the river on rising ground safely out of the flood plain. The Trent and Mersey Canal runs between the village and the river.
There is a primary school, run by headmistress Ann Tunley, and there is a church (All Saints), which dates back to Celtic times. Renowned artists of the village include Robin Gibbard and pyrographer Bob Neill, and it takes pride in its fascinating history.
