Chetwynd Aston is a village in Shropshire south of Newport. [1] Aston derives from Old English elements, meaning eastern settlement, and Chetwynd derives from a family name. [2] There are several listed buildings in the village's immediate area, including a farmhouse. The land around the village is classified as Grade 2. [3] Geologically, the village lies on a mix of sandstone and conglomerate formed in the Triassic period called the Chester Formation, with areas of Quaternary-period till, although an area of Permian sandstone lies nearby to the southwest.
