Latest reviews | Events in Aston Clinton Aston Clinton is a Buckinghamshire village of about 3,500 people, 4 miles East of county town Aylesbury. It lies at the foot of the Chiltern Hills with a bypass that was opened in 2003 but the history of this village dates back to the Doomsday Book of 1086. The village is situated at the crossing of 2 Roman roads – Icknield Way and Akeman Street. The latter is now the busy A41 from London to Chester. One of the oldest buildings here is the parish church of St Michael and All Angels. Sir Anthony de Rothschild moved here in 1853, most notably establishing the Chiltern Springs Water Company (still trading but owned by Danone). A listed building, The Anthony Hall, was built in 1884 and later donated to Aston by Lady Louise Rothschild in memory of her husband. There is not much industry left and the town’s inhabitants often commute to the larger towns, as large employers such as the woodturning business ceased, as has the sawmill. Before Hillclimbs on public highways were disallowed in 1923, Aston Hill hosted an event for 20 years, during which co-founder of a motor company, Lional Martin, had great success and named his company Aston Martin in respect. The village is now quiet with just two pubs, The Oak and The Partridge, and all accommodation can be found nearby in Tring or Aylesbury
