Ashmore Green history

Ashmore Green was first noted on a map in 1761 spelled “Ashmoor Green” The area was largely moorland and heath until it began to be populated in the 1800s. The population of the area nearly doubled between 1900 and 1939, with major expansion after WW2.

Ashmore Green etymology

Ashmore Green is probably of Saxon origin, meaning “Ash Tree covered Moor” The ash tree held significance for the Saxons due to the mythical Yggdrasil and the ash tree being sacred to the god Wōden. Ash trees are common in Berkshire, as is reflected in other settlement names such as Cold Ash, Ashampstead, Ashford Hill and Ashmansworth.
