Aston Hall Completed in 1635, Aston Hall is a Grade I listed red brick Jacobean mansion built from Sir Thomas Holte and James Watt Junior. In 1864 the house was bought by Birmingham Corporation, becoming the first historic country house to pass municipal ownership, and is still owned by Birmingham City Council. The mansion is surrounded by formal gardens, 50 acres of open parkland and is only a few miles outside of Birmingham City Centre. It boasts a series of period rooms which have furniture, paintings, textiles and metalwork from the collections of the Birmingham Museum & Art gallery. As one of the most historical buildings in Birmingham it makes the ideal venue for wedding ceremonies.

St Peter & Paul Church Standing tall, our next door neighbour, St Peter & Paul church has a history dating back to 1086 where a priest is mentioned as one of the inhabitants of the manor of Aston in the Domesday Book. The present church that is built in brownish-grey sandstone, dates from 1879-1890 and was designed by Julius Alfred Chatwin. Chatwin was Birmingham’s foremost church architect at the time and built the grade II listed building to accommodate a congregation of 900. The church boasts a three sided apse with 14th century-style tracery windows. The building is surrounded by a wealth of medieval style decoration such as gargoyles and grotesques. The length and height of this building is dominated by the beautiful apsidal chancel at the east end, with a continuous hammer-beam roof in both nave and chancel. Historic parquet flooring spreads through the nave with mosaic geometric designs in the chancel. The apse is adorned by 5 stained glass windows by Hardman’s dating from 1885 and depicting the adoration of the lamb.
