Welcome to the website of St Arilda's Church, Oldbury on Severn
Our church serves the village of Oldbury on Severn and the surrounding area. The parish of Oldbury on Severn with Shepperdine is part of a larger benefice, centred on Thornbury. Services are normally held every Sunday, usually in the evening at 6 pm. There is a small chapel at Shepperdine where services are held once or twice a month
We make every effort to reach out to young people in the area. The church has strong links with the TGI Tuesday club, Oldbury Toddler Group and the village school.
We are part of the Thornbury Benefice, comprising ourselves, Shepperdine, St Mary's Thornbury and St Pauls Thornbury. You can see the benefice website at - https://www.thornburybenefice.org/
The church stands in a beautiful churchyard, and is a popular stopping point for walkers in the area. The church is open every day.
