Church of SS Peter & Paul, Aston, Anglican parish church in Aston, Birmingham, England
The Church of SS Peter & Paul features Gothic Revival architecture with traditional elements including a nave, chancel, and detailed stained glass windows.
Established in the 9th century with a wooden structure, the church received its first stone construction in 1120, becoming the second largest in West Midlands.
The church houses three chest tombs of the Arden family, Shakespeare's ancestors, along with monuments from the Wars of the Roses period.
The building opens two hours before Aston Villa home games and provides wheelchair access, on-street parking, and bicycle security facilities.
A cruciform immersion baptistry was installed during the 2008 renovation, combining modern worship practices with the historical structure.
