Aston parish church.

Dusk, sunday service. My car was parked near here and as I drove off I noticed the beautiful windows with the light shining through so I stopped and quickly got my camera out.



Aston and Northfield are the only churches within the City of Birmingham mentioned in Domesday Book. Lying next to Aston Hall, it is prominently visible from the A38(M) Aston Expressway.

There is a little 14th-century stonework remaining. The steeple dates from the 15th century, partially rebuilt 1776–77 by John Cheshire. Otherwise the church dates from a design (1879–90) by J. A. Chatwin. It contains many old monuments including an alabaster knight of circa 1360 and a sandstone lady of circa 1490.

When I have chance I will go back and have a look inside
