Nice to hear from you Sarahax. You can build log constructions from any logs. The three main issues for choosing species are rot resistance, workability, and stability while drying.
I don't know anything about the ash species found in English forests. American ash is not known as a rot resistant species and insects go after it. It is very workable and fairly stable. An unstable wood would twist and distort as it dries, making holes in the walls.
I suggest you consult local wood sawyers or woodworkers to get the best info on the particular species you are dealing with.
