St Andrew's

Welcome to the page for St Andrew, Shelsley Walsh which is part of the Worcestershire West Rural Team. Our Team Rector is Rev. Anne Potter and our Curate in Charge is Rev. Julia Curtis and their details can be found below.

St Andrew's has a Norman nave to which a chancel was added in the 13th century. It was mainly built of tufa quarried from the ridge behind the church at Southstone Rock. The spectacular woodwork inside the building dates from the 15th century and is notable for the very rare chancel screen which extends into a squire's pew and was described by John Betjeman as "the finest in the county".

The parish of The Shelsleys is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops' guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). The Diocese of Worcester’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority's children or adult social care services.
