For Remembrance Sunday this year, we are inviting local people and groups to contribute to a display of poppy artwork. This is your chance to take part - pop in to the Dorothy Parkes Centre on Saturday 1st November between 10am and 12noon to make a poppy for the display.

You can come and see the poppies on Saturday 8th November (10am-4pm) and Sunday 9th November (10am-1pm, including a Remembrance Day service at 10.15am).

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.
