Aston Flamville

Aston Flamville is a village and civil parish in the Blaby district in Leicestershire, England. It is situated near Hinckley, but on the other (eastern) side of the M69. It has a population of 150 and consequently has a parish meeting rather than a parish council.

The records of the Warwickshire county committee reveal that Aston Flamville was occasionally visited by troops from the parliamentary garrisons in north Warwickshire. Among a list of claims for losses and "free quarter" submitted to the county committee in June, 1646 George Turville, of Aston Flamville, described as a gentleman, claimed for twelve strikes of oats and three strikes of peas worth 16s 6d taken by Coventry forces. William Turville, another gentleman, claimed that troops under Colonel Barker from the Coventry garrison took two horses with bridles and saddles worth £13. Mr Hill claimed on another occasion that troops from the Astley garrison took a horse and "divers other things" worth £12. (Exchequer Accounts, SP 28/161)
