Aston, Cote, Shifford and Chimney
- A Parish History
A new book from Aston History Group

The first book to attempt a history of Aston since 1848 has been described as ‘very readable’. With 210 pages and over 300 illustrations there is something of interest for everyone. Aspects of life in this place will particularly attract those whose ancestors lived here.
In 16 chapters and 8 appendices, fully indexed, all aspects of life are covered in an easily accessible way. The special features of religion and agriculture in this parish are described as well as all the social and economic developments that followed national trends. Jane Clarke’s training school for girls in service has its own chapter, as does the parish at war.
PRICE - £15.00
p&p £5.00 (UK)

Copies available:
IN PERSON at Aston Community Shop or Penny Black House, The Square, Aston
