Aston Ingham sits right on the Gloucestershire/Herefordshire border on high ground above the Forest of Dean. May Hill, known as the Mariners Landmark because it is clearly visible from both the Bristol Channel and the Irish Sea with it’s distinctive crown of trees, is within the parish. In 1851 the population was 636, and as elsewhere in Herefordshire, the main occupation was agriculture.
