Ashe is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Overton,[1] in the Basingstoke and Deane district of Hampshire, England. The River Test commonly rises in the village. In 1931 the parish had a population of 174.[2]

The Church of the Holy Trinity & St Andrew is a Grade II listed building.[3] It was rebuilt on the site of an older church by George Gilbert Scott Jr. in 1878. The young Jane Austen, who was born in nearby Steventon, had connections to the village via the Lefroy family.[4]

The name comes from "ac" or "ache", a Celtic name for a spring or water source.[5]
