To study the history of St John's is to become familiar with a certain family name - that of 'Whatley' . Between 1785 and 1964, five generations of the Whatley family served as Rector in Aston Ingham, with fathers being followed by sons in a way more like royal succession than clerical appointment! The church building itself was rebuilt in 1891 - the previous building had suffered from an increasingly-deteriorating condition, which necessitated complete rebuilding, though in a design which was sympathetic to the old church, and which managed to retain both the 13th century chancel arch and the 16th century porch.
