St Michael and All Angels is a beautiful church on the edge of the village of Tirley. St Michael and All Angels was severely affected by the 2007 floods in Gloucestershire and received national attention when it was featured on the front page of newspaper reports pictured in the midst of the flood waters surrounding it.
After much hard work St Michael and All Angels is open once more. Newly restored, with a new organ gallery especially designed with stainless steel columns, and an open worship space.
You are very welcome to visit us and find out more.
