History of the church in Aston and Nechells

The Aston and Nechells areas of Birmingham have a long and cherished history, as does the church. Indeed, there was a time when Aston was the dominant parish of the area, dwarfing neighbouring Birmingham.

In this section, we aim to give you an insight into the history of our area and the three churches that make up the parish, as well as provide you with information on tracing your own history in the area.

• History of Aston Parish Church
• History of St James’ Church
• History of St Matthew’s Church
• Parish Records – information on how to learn about your ancestry in the area
• Restoration Project – details the significant restoration project on Aston Parish Church
