St Saviour's Church is a beautiful little country church, which has been extensively reordered in 2013 to provide a meeting area, tea bar and toilet.. This has involved moving the font and installing a gallery, but this has enhanced the building and made it much more welcoming. On entering you will notice the angels etched into the glass of the new screen. Please also have a look at the lovely alabaster reredos, the stained glass windows and the star studded ceiling, which are features of the church.
Regular Sunday morning worship is at the heart of all that we do at St. Saviour's, and we welcome enquiries for Baptisms and Weddings.
We hold events such as concerts in church, coach trips, hot-pot suppers etc. and we support a number of charities financially as well as helping with the house to house collection for Christian Aid. We have also worked with the Canal Ministries Team and The Boater's Christian fellowship during a week of activities in Stone and the surrounding district..
The church is very close to Aston Marina, just 5 minutes walk from the Trent and Mersey canal, along a pleasant country lane.
There is parking on the left hand side of the church driveway but when this is full please park in the lane, ensuring that private driveways are not blocked. There is a second exit from the driveway, so please enter through the main entrance off Church Lane and exit at the far end. Thank you.
