context_page_description: Aston Flamville is a village and civil parish in the Blaby district in Leicestershire, England. It is situated near Hinckley, but on the other side of the M69. It has a population of 150 and consequently has a parish meeting rather than a parish council. The population at the 2011 census had increased to 311.
context_section_description: Dame Mary Roskell wrote of the Turville family as follows:
  "The noble and ancient family of Turville, 
  formerly de Tourville, was planted in this 
  country by one of the companions of William 
  the Norman, and for some generations flourished 
  at Normanton Turville in Leicestershire, when, 
  having married the heiress of the Flamvilles of 
  Aston Flamville (who from their arms the 
  maunch would appear to have been a branch 
  of the family of Hastings, the pristine lords of 
  Aston Flamville), they settled at that place and 
  resided there, until the marriage of the representative of the family with the heiress of the Fortescues of Bosworth Hall, county Leicester, 
  and Idbury, county Oxford, etc., brought those 
  estates into the family. If we respect a family, 
  as we ought to do, for preserving an ancient 
  patrimony and position by piety, prudence and 
  self-denial, still more must we venerate such a 
  family as this, which not only exhibits the above 
  virtues but possesses the far higher one of having 
  preserved inviolate the ancient faith through 
  centuries of persecution and injustice, and thus 
  stands as a living witness against modern 
  
  assumptions".
