Memories of The Parish Church c1965, Astwood Bank
I Will Never Forget
This church is where my grandparents and parents are all buried and opposite my aunt and uncle live. It brings back many family weddings and also when we were home from Africa the services we used to attend here. My father John was a choir boy here and so were my aunt and my grandfather Vic.

I have so many wonderful memories of Astwood Bank and seeing the photos has just broght them all flooding back. I wonder if in the photo of the playing field if any of those children could have been my cousins, it was the right era for them.
