| Aston Magna War Memorial |
Within the last few years, the church has been converted to a private
residence. However, the churchyard and its graves still remain, and we have
this CWGC headstone:

19190699 TROOPER J.C. BIRKETT ROYAL ARMOURED CORPS 19TH SEPTEMBER 1947 AGE 18 GIVEN US FOR A LITTLE WHILE FOR EVER IN OUR MEMORIES MUM AND MARY |
In St Peter & St Paul’s, Blockley is a brass plate, which I think may have been moved from Aston Magna’s church. It reads:
|
In grateful remembrance of the men of Aston Magna who gave their lives in the World Wars 1914-1918 C. Mitford D.S.O. G.H. Deverell H. Padbury W. Rouse G. Wheeler 1939-1945 T.A. Hall-Digweed D. Pockett Be thou faithful unto death |
Note: C. Mitford also has a (far larger) memorial at Batsford, and he is also listed on the Great Wolford war memorial.
