In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Ashe like this:
ASHE, or Ash, a hamlet in Musbury parish, Devon; 2½ miles SW of Axminster. An old mansion here, now a farmhouse, was the birthplace, in 1650, of John Churchill, the famous Duke of Marlborough.
Ashe is now part of EAST DEVON District. Click here for graphs and data of how EAST DEVON has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Ashe itself, go to Statistics.
