Set in the village of Arlingham bordered on three sides by the River Severn, Arlingham church has served the local community for hundreds of years.
We are part of a group of fifteen parishes known as the Stroudwater Team of Churches, and details of events and services across our whole team can be found on our team website - details are in the contact section of this website.
The Church of St Mary the Virgin dates from the mid-fourteenth century in the decorated style and has been little altered. It still has some of the original stained glass windows of the highest quality.
We hold two services a month as well as weddings, baptisms and funerals. The church is supported by many local villagers who help on a practical level. If you would like to find out more about how you can help do get it touch.

Fretherne is part of the Stroudwater Team Benefice. A small parish of 150 people with 30 on the electoral roll, 50% of our population are young families. Festivals such as Harvest, Easter and Christmas see our church full. Our services have a modern focus and our aim is to attract all generations.
Fretherne Church is known as Gloucestershire's Mini Cathedral. It is a tiny church of great beauty, with a depth of history researched and documented. It was completely rebuilt in Victorian times and is of national interest being an unusually ornate design for a village church.
The church is close to the Severn Way, so is often visited by walkers.
The church is open for visitors every Sunday and Wednesday, 9 am to 4 pm. Our monthly services are held on the 4th Sunday each month at 11.15 am. If you would like to visit at a different time please contact the Churchwarden.
