Churchyard Maintenance Mornings

Saturday 28 June 2025, Saturday 23 August 2025, Saturday 11 October 2025 Saturday at for 2 hours
Smethwick Old Church
The Uplands Smethwick Birmingham, B67 6EQ, United Kingdom

Join a small but dedicated group as we seek to play our part in keeping the churchyard pleasant for visitors, as well as a safe home for the rich diversity of wildlife living there.

Sturdy shoes are required, and you will be given guidance as to which areas we are focusing on at each session. It is helpful if you can bring a few small tools, and we will provide cake and hot drinks!

Smethwick Old Church

Smethwick Old Church is both an historic building and a family of Christians. Built in 1732 using money left by Dorothy Parkes, our grade-two listed parish church is the oldest building in Smethwick - closely followed by The Old Chapel pub next door! We welcome people of all ages and backgrounds to share in worship, growing faith and work with our local community. 

We'd love to welcome to to any of our regular and special services, and you can find details of these on this page. For enquiries about baptisms, weddings or funerals please contact our Vicar, Revd Sara Moore via [email protected] or 07473 385789.
