The site of the former village is about {{convert|0.25|mi|m}} west of the present farm.[2] ManorAsterleigh's toponym indicates that it was created by woodland clearance[3] on what would then have been the edge of Wychwood Forest. The Domesday Book of 1086 does not record Asterleigh as a separate settlement. Medieval pottery found in 1948 suggests that Asterleigh was inhabited by the 12th century.[2] Also in 1948, squared stones were found along with limestone roofing slates that had medieval-style drilled nail-holes.[2] The earliest known documentary record of Asterleigh is from early in the 13th century.[2] At the time of the Hundred Rolls in 1279 it had 20 farms.[3] However, the village declined and its landowning family decided to leave the village and move to Nether Kiddington.[3] ChurchAsterleigh was an ecclesiastical parish that had its own parish church by 1216.[1] However, in 1466 John Chedworth, Bishop of Lincoln absorbed Asterleigh into the ecclesiastical parish of Kiddington, declaring: the tenths, oblations, rents and emoluments of the rectory of Asterleigh were so diminished as to be insufficient to support a rector, or even a competent parochial chaplain, on account of the paucity of parishioners, the barrenness of land, defects of husbandry, and an unusual prevalence of pestilences and epidemic sicknesses.[3] In 1783 the Reverend Thomas Warton reported that "pieces of moulded stone and other antique masonry" had been found at Asterleigh.[4] In 1960 the footings of the church porch were unearthed and reburied.[5] Farm and civil parishBy the 18th century Asterleigh was no more than a farmhouse.[6] Asterleigh Farm was an extra-parochial area of {{convert|300|acre|ha}} until 1858[7] when it was made a civil parish.[8] In 1895 it was combined with the civil parish of Kiddington.[8] The site of the medieval village and church is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument.[9] References1. ^1 Page, 1907 2. ^1 2 3 Jope, 1948, pages 67-69 3. ^1 2 3 Emery, 1974, page 102 4. ^Warton, 1783, cited in Jope, 1948, pages 67-69 5. ^Case & Sturdy, 1960, page 131 6. ^Warton, 1815, page 23 7. ^Vision of Britain website: Asterleigh{{dead link|date=October 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 8. ^1 Vision of Britain website: Kiddington{{dead link|date=October 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 9. ^West Oxfordshire District Council: Scheduled Ancient Monuments {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110902070511/http://westoxon.devplan.org.uk/document.aspx?document=6&display=appendix&id=12 |date=September 2, 2011 }} Sources
