The History of St. Giles, Pipe Aston

Building History

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.

Norman Influence

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 Wall Paintings

These lovely Norman wall paintings were discovered in 1879 during some restoration work. They depict florals, fleur-de-lys
