Saint Andrew's is the parish church for the village of Ombersley which lies within the Worcester Diocese of the Church of England
The church is a fine example of the work of architect Thomas Rickman. Completed in 1829, it copies fourteenth century styles with a high stone vaulted ceiling and stained glass windows.

Saint Andrew's stands next to the cross roads around which the medieval village developed and many of the fine timber framed buildings still remain. The church is the focus for worship and celebration in the village with regular Sunday services and special events throughout the year. The annual Summer Fete and the Autumn Harvest Supper bring the whole community together.
The large size of the church, (it can seat 500), its airy interior and location in a well preserved village with nearby inns dating from the seventeenth century have made Saint Andrew's a popular choice for weddings and baptisms. It is also a favoured concert venue.
There is a series of repair and restoration projects in progress. The work most recently completed was the restoration of the north transept windows. We are grateful for the generous support of people living in the village, visitors, local funding bodies and English Heritage which has made this possible.
