Aston Parish Church War Memorial Project

Dr Ann Hartley has been undertaking a project to document not just the names but the lives of every person listed on the WW1 memorial plaque at the back of Aston Parish Church. She has had some success, but still needs your help.
Here’s a video we have put together with Dr Hartley to give a taste of her success and also her request for assistance.

Please do take a look at her work here

What I most appreciate about Aston is:

- “The love and care we have for each other between the three churches, the teaching and encouragement that we receive, that together we take part in joint services, shared meals and community events and that God is central to all that we do. Three different churches with one common set of values.” (Joan Perry, Reader)

- “Christians in this parish are great at encouraging each other, and at reaching out in creative ways to those outside our church boundaries.” (David Fletcher, Reader)

- “Synergy, three churches supporting each other and as a whole greater than the sum of the parts.” (Geoff Miller, PCC Lay Chair)

- “A group of people who live out God’s love and care for all, looking after each other and those in need outside of the church.” (Paul Lacey, Lee Abbey Community Member)
