| 説明 | This is the historic church down the road from Villa Park. It makes the perfect snowy wintery scene what with all that snow.It is a Grade II* listed building, currently listed as the Anglican Church of Ss Peter & Paul. It was formerly listed as the Parish Church of St Peter & St Paul, Witton Lane, Witton. But it is actually in Aston. It is quite close to the Aston Expressway - A38(M).It is the only church in Birmingham mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1086 (although nothing from that time remains). The current church dates from the 15th to the 19th centuries.Selected details from Heritage Gateway:An Anglican parish church, originating before 1086, though nothing visible survives from this date. The west tower dates from the C15, with its spire renewed in 1776-7 by John Cheshire (circa 1739-1812); otherwise the church dates from 1879-90, with the south porch added in 1908, all to designs by Julius Alfred Chatwin (1830-1907). The church is constructed from brownish-grey sandstone, under slate roofs.The building is set on a moulded sandstone plinth, and has angle buttresses and pitched roofs. There is a west tower of four stages with angle buttresses, three-light windows and an unusual treatment of the bell stage, which has rows of segment-headed recesses with two tiers of trefoil-headed panels; the central pair are louvred, those flanking are blind. The stages are marked by moulded string courses. The tower is surmounted by an elegant, broachless octagonal spire. The tower, nave and chancel have unifying crenellations. The aisle windows and those to the south (Erdington) chapel have simple Y-tracery, with drip moulds and some head stops, in part to accommodate stained glass from the earlier church. The clerestory has windows of three lights, with cusped heads and trefoils in Decorated tracery above. The nave and chancel are continuous, the transition between the two marked by large pinnacles with gargoyles at their bases. The high, five-sided chancel has tall buttresses with multiple off-sets, and three-light windows with continuous mullions, those to the sides with similar tracery to those in the clerestory. Nave, chancel and chapel have gargoyles and moulded detailing. Anglican Church of St Peter & St Paul - Heritage GatewayLychgate |
