St. Giles. Pipe Aston
St. Giles. Pipe Aston
Our smallest church, Pipe Aston is a
Norman gem, set in an immaculately
kept churchyard. It was partly rebuilt in
the 13th century, and has had restoration
and preservation work completed in
2013.
Its ornate north doorway boasts a Norman
tympanum. It is so perfectly preserved that
it looks as if it was carved yesterday.
The nave has an original Norman wall
painting.
The roof is late 14th century.
The Tympanum!
This alone is worth a visit, and whilst you are there pop in and look at the cosy, quiet interior.
Stay awhile and enjoy a moment of quiet reflection
Savour the wall paintings, someone along time ago decorated this sacred space.
The Tympanum, the paintings - generations have valued this small church - others still do.
The church is open to the public every day of the year.
