The parish church of St Peter & St Paul in Aston is now in Birmingham though when the church was first mentioned in the Domesday Book, Aston was surrounded by fields and indeed was a larger place than Birmingham! When the church was completed in the 12th century it was one of the largest in the Midlands at the time and may have been the ministry church for the large Aston parish.
The church was rebuilt and reordered in 1480 including the current tower and spire. The church was rebuilt again in 1879.
The church was where my Mother was christened and her parents married.
