HERITAGE OPEN DAYS - St. Peter’s Church, Open Day relating to Chloe Gambia

St. Peter's Church present building was built in 1736 and is a Grade 1 listed building. This replaced an earlier chapel from the early 16th century.

Chloe was baptised in the church on 17th May 1767 and died on 12th September 1838 aged 77 years or thereabouts.

She lived in the Aston family for 70 years being the playmate for the Aston family children and later the family's housekeeper.

Take a chance to have a look at the documents that are proofing Chloe's existence, who must have been a very special person those days.
