Date:May - November 1919 (c.)

Description:In 1919, the Trustees (of St Thomas's Church) appointed to the Living the Rev. C T Aston, Vicar of St Matthew’s, Rugby. Taking up his duties at Easter, he soon won the hearts of all by his happy disposition, his cheery smile and his manliness. His ministry was destined to be but of a few months’ duration before he was stricken down with illness, which unhappily proved fatal.

Evidence of the esteem in which he was held was shown by the large congregation present at the Memorial Service held on November 7th,1919.
