LATEST BOOK ON SALE
SAVA's exhibition "Village Personalities of Steeple and Middle Aston" was shown on the weekend of November 12/13th 2022.
Every village has its characters, but few of them are properly recorded for posterity. SAVA tells the stories of 38 significant individuals - including village "stalwarts" from 1522 to 2022, those who made it to the "wider stage" (including Iris Murdoch), and a few of the more controversial figures. SAVA's book of the exhibition, together with all its other publications is now on sale, available from this website (see Shop).
