From the Wikipedia article
Ayston is a village and civil parish in the county of Rutland in the East Midlands of England. It is about one mile (1.6 km) north-west of Uppingham, close to the junction of the A47 and A6003. The population of the village was less than 100 at the 2011 census and is included in the civil parish of Ridlington. The placename means Aethelstan's farm or settlement; the estate was granted to Aethelstan, a minister of Edward the Confessor, in 1046. Ayston is part of Braunston & Belton ward which has one councillor on Rutland County Council. The Grade II* listed St Mary the Virgin's Church came into the care of Churches Conservation Trust in April 2014.
