Kingston Blount
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kingston Blount is part of the civil parish of Aston Rowant situated in South Oxfordshire, England. The village is a spring line settlement located at the foot of the Chiltern Hills. The 87 mile long Ridgeway, a national trail, runs to the south and the Lower Icknield Way to the north.
The village was recorded in Domesday as Chingestone. Some late Iron Age cremation urns were discovered in 1974 at Elizabeth Villa in the High Street. The findings were placed in an Oxford museum.
The village has one public house, The Cherry Tree, and a large playing field where the parish's main events, such as the May Day are held.
