George Nevile Wyatt had been a churchwarden at St Luke's,
Cheltenham, but in 1884 their daughter Annie married the Reverend William Clifford
Aston, a son of the Vicar of St Luke's. In 1894 the patronage of the living at
Leckhampton was up for sale, and was bought by Mrs Wyatt (by then a widow).
When there was a vacancy in 1895 she was thus in a position to arrange the
appointment of her son-in-law as the incumbent. This act of nepotism was perhaps
forgivable, as Clifford Aston brought energy and good fellowship to the village. He is
best remembered for inspiring the building of the Parish Hall as a centre of its social
life.16
William married Annie Nevile WYATT, daughter of George Nevile WYATT and Augusta Warren DAUNT, in 1884 in Cheltenham, Gloucester, England. (Annie Nevile WYATT was born in 1858 in Scotland.)
