Go to Class of 1750 for a photo diary of the Aston Rowant Family History Reunion
The church at Aston Rowant is dedicated to SS Peter and Paul.
The following information has been obtained from the guide book.
The original church, comprising a nave and small chancel, is probably 11th century, although there may have been a Saxon church in existence pre-Conquest.
Below is a photo of the altar in the chancel, which was added or enlarged in the 13th century.
The altar slab now in use was found buried in the chancel in 1884, and is possibly the original.
Below is pictured the South Chapel, added in the 14th century.
Below shows the nave, and the pulpit which is said to be Jacobean. The pews date back to the 1850 restoration, as does the glass in the east window.
Below can be seen the Tower, also added in the 14th century. It originally included a spire, taken down in 1811. Six bells are hung on the second floor.
