Brief description
https://www.achurchnearyou.com/church/12969/about-us/
2026:
"St Mary the Virgin, Astley built in 1343. The Church now consists of a Nave, a massive Tower at the west end, and a Chancel to the east following its restoration in 1607.
The present Nave formerly only the Quire (or Chancel) of the large original Collegiate Church, comprising of a central Tower, Quire, Nave, Chapels and Transepts both North and South of the Tower. Also including a large Sacristy or Vestry on the north side of the Quire, the blocked doorways to which can be seen both in the buttress outside, and centrally along the wall inside. Members of historic families are buried within the building and church grounds.
St Mary the Virgin Astley was once a truly magnificent church building and adorned many more treasures. Today, sadly we will need to use our imagination to visualise how it once stood, but the clues are still there for all of us to enjoy.
Astley Church is quoted by our Architect as being "The Church is Grade I listed and is a building of great historical significance" and we wholeheartedly and proudly agree. Come and see or join us for worship. You will be very welcome."
