The Reverend J.J. Daniell in his History Of Warminster, first published in 1879, says:
“Asheys, or Ashes, was the name of a house belonging to the Blake family at the end of the 16th century. William Blake, of Asheys, was one of the first Feoffees of St Laurence’s Chapel. The path, now called Ash Walk, was formerly Asheys Walk, as leading to the house.”
