2017 EXHIBITION: THE HISTORY OF STEEPLE ASTON CHURCH
|
Over the weekend of
November 11th and 12th 2017, Steeple Aston Village Hall will host SAVA's latest exhibition about the village's ancient church of St.Peter and St. Paul. From its roots in Saxon times, through rebuilding in the C14th and C15th, to a major restoration in 1842, the exhibition traces every detail of change, taking you on a guided tour of the structure, its fittings and furnishings. Many interesting features are uncovered that congregations and visitors have possibly never seen, such as more than 30 sculpted heads and creatures, which are featured in large scale photos. Detailed studies of the stained glass windows, memorials, gravestones, and much more make this exhibition one you should not miss. |
VILLAGE HISTORY CENTRE
SAVA's Village History Centre opened in September 2013, and regularly attracts visitors from the village and far afield. It is open every Saturday morning from 10.00 until 12.00, and we
welcome all who would like to explore more about Steeple and Middle Aston. The Centre houses
an extensive archive of documents, photos and family history information, maps and other
historical material relating to the two villages. It's all available for inspection and further research, mainly free of charge. Please drop in when you can.
If you have photos, documents or other material that you think we might like to see, please don't hesitate to visit us - adjacent to the Village Hall in Fir Lane, or contact us.
