The village of Ashley lies some 8 miles SW of Cirencester. The Fosse Way forms part of the parish boundary and also the county boundary with Wiltshire. Ashley was one of several parishes that were transferred from Wiltshire to Gloucestershire in 1930. The church is built of coursed rubble and consists of a W tower, nave with narrow S aisle, S porch and chancel that was rebuilt in 1848. The S doorway and chancel arch are Romanesque.
Ashley is recorded in the Wiltshire section of Domesday Book. In 1066 it was held by Ealdread, and in 1086 by Durand of Gloucester.
