In 1931 Aston and Cote was united with Chimney to form the civil parish of Aston Bampton, which was merged with Shifford in 1954 to form the parish of Aston Bampton and Shifford. The parish was later renamed Aston, Cote, Shifford and Chimney. Since 1974 Aston is a village about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Witney in the West Oxfordshire District, England.
