St Mary the Virgin, Aston Somerville In Gloucestershire until 1931, now in Worcestershire. Mainly 14th-15th century and sensitively restored in 1908 by C. Ford Whitcombe. Sadly, the retirement of a vicar means that from now a service will only be held here every other month, meaning that closure is a future possibility.
