Protecting Homes & Businesses in Aston

Aston anchors the old township of Aston-cum-Aughton on the A57 corridor, a village whose handsome church and rectory once made it a small literary landmark, home for decades to the poet-rector William Mason, now grown into one of the borough's busiest south-western communities.

The settled feel runs deep, this is one parish of three villages grown together across the centuries, with the medieval church of All Saints at its heart and the old hall standing in its grounds nearby — and open country survives on every side, from the reservoir's sailing water over the hill to the hedged lanes that still separate the villages from the motorway's hum.

There is real literary weight behind that quiet rectory. William Mason, rector here for over forty years, was the closest friend and chosen literary executor of the poet Thomas Gray, author of the famous Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, and it was Mason who, in 1775, published Gray's collected poems with the memoir that shaped his reputation for a century. A noted garden theorist himself, whose poem The English Garden helped define the age's taste, Mason lived and wrote at Aston until his death in 1797, and is remembered both here and in Poets' Corner at Westminster Abbey.

The Locks Behind Aston's Front Doors

Aston and its joined villages run from a medieval church-and-hall core of period and stone property to long runs of twentieth-century and modern estate housing, with newer building among them, strung along the busy A57 corridor. The period timber doors take a British Standard five-lever mortice deadlock fitted to old joinery; the estate and modern homes' uPVC and composite doors want a TS007 three-star anti-snap cylinder in place of the basic one. The factor that shapes risk here is the through-road. A corridor village on a main route carries constant passing traffic, and the homes just off the through-road see the most opportunist attention, a car can pull in, a target can be tried, and the road carries the chancer straight on. So the proven pattern is visible quality locking at the front, a door that plainly will not give, with secured access at the sides: a locked side gate so the rear cannot be reached unseen, a secured garage, and a Sold Secure padlock on sheds and outbuildings. With open country and the hedged lanes on every side, the homes on the village edge should give the rear boundary the same care as the front door. The same is true of adjoining Aughton, the older village paired with Aston, where stone cottages sit among newer homes and the open-field edges make a secured rear boundary worth as much as the front-door lock.
