All Saints' Church, Viney Hill, Present and Future

All Saints' Church has been the focus for community life for over 150 years. F.W. Harvey's description of the church as a "lantern on the hill" is totally understandable when you see it. Built of Forest sandstone, it sits on the edge of Forest woodland looking out over the Severn Valley. The open days feature an exhibition of church history, Gypsy Petulengro, who is buried in the churchyard, and future plans to make the interior of the church more accessible, energy efficient and useful for parishioners, community arts groups and young people attending the Christian Adventure Centre. Visitors will be able to the historic features of this lovely building, learn about its past and contribute ideas to how it can best fulfil its role in the future. There will be a guided walk and talk around the church and its environs to learn more about its amazing history at 2pm on Sunday 8th September. Duration approximately 45 minutes.
