About Us

"The Village Cathedral"

The Church is an impressive 14th Century, Grade I listed building with many notable monuments and features. There is generally a service held every 2nd, 3rd and 4th Sunday morning. On the first Sunday of the month there is a Benefice Zoom service.

We regularly hold social and fundraising events, which offer something for everyone. They are very popular with local residents, as well as parishioners from across the Benefice and the wider community. We host Harvest and Salmon Lunches which have a reputation for delicious menus, served with a friendly smile, as well as Quiz Nights and ‘Bingo & Bangers’, all held in the Village Hall. Cream Teas are served in the Churchyard in August and we have held two very successful Christmas Tree Festivals (2021 and 2023).

Norbury and its setting: 

Sitting in picturesque countryside, Norbury is a popular and peaceful village. There are a number of working farms, in the village and surrounding hamlets of Oulton, Weston Jones and Loynton.

The idyllic Shropshire Union Canal runs through the parish, a short walk from the village. Here, at Norbury Junction, a small community, live and work around the famous, colourful canal basin, which is very popular with visitors, (day-trippers, cyclists and walkers).
