KINGSTON BLOUNT

'Kingston Blount' is part of the civil parish of Aston Rowant situated in South Oxfordshire, England. The village is a spring line settlement located at the foot of the Chiltern Hills. The 87 mile long Ridgeway, a national trail, runs to the South and the 'Lower Icknield Way' to the North.
The village was recorded in Domesday as 'Chingestone'. A discovery of late Iron Age cremation urns was discovered in '1974' at Elizabeth Villa along the High Street. The findings were placed in an Oxford museum.
The village contains one pub, 'The Cherry Tree', and a large playing field where the parish's main events, such as the May Day are held.
