EAST ASTON, tithing(s) of Longparish
Either Old English 'eastan tune'='east of the farm', presumably MIDDLETON, or hypothetical 'Easttun'='east farm'. The place was later recorded as two tithings, 1329 'Esteston' and about 1450 'Westaston' both appearing in 1586 as 'Ashton'.

Norden has 'Laston' which is about where Tufton is today, but could be a misrendering of E.aston
