St Mary's Shepperdine
St Mary's Shepperdine is a small tin tabernacle on the banks of the River Severn. It is a very small church building that plays host to a small congregation on a monthly basis (in ordinary times) for BCP services. Also used for regular services at Rogation and Harvest it is a building at the heart of the farming community. It is also always open as a place of pilgrimage and prayer for those walking in the area. In collaboration with Oldbury we proudly achieved our Arocha Eco Church Silver Award in 2020.
Services at Shepperdine continue to be suspended due to Covid in light of the size of the building. We are open as a place of pilgrimage and prayer.
