Chapel Ascote is a civil parish[1] in the Stratford-on-Avon district, in Warwickshire, England, south of Ladbroke near the A423 road. The parish of Bishop's Itchington lies to the west.[2][3] In 2021 the parish had a population of 18.
The parish was historically known under a variety of names; the earliest recorded is "Astanescote", from the 12th century. The name evolved and was recorded as just "Ascote" in 1372; in 1667 it was first recorded as "Chappell Ascott". The etymology of the name is unclear: one theory is that the name derives from "Ēadstan's cote". Another suggests it comes from "Aelfstan's cottages"; Aelfstan being a man granted land in Bishop's Itchington.[4]
