Good to see that you have found our website!                    St Adeline’s is a beautiful little church with a very welcoming congregation.

The church serves the picturesque village of Little Sodbury at the foot of the Cotswolds and is on the famous Cotswold and Monarch Way walking trails.                                                                                 St Adeline’s has the distinction of being the only church in the United Kingdom named after St. Adeline, an Abbess of the Benedictine order who died in 1125. It is one of our churches in the Sodbury Vale Benefice.

The church is always open during the day and is visited by many walkers. Complimentary fresh water and squash is available at the back of the church, please help yourselves.

St Adeline’s is located near the Manor House in Little Sodbury and has a history associated with William Tyndale, translator of the Bible into English in 1525. (mentioned in the BBC’s “Wolf Hall”, where Thomas Cromwell has a copy of his newly translated Bible)

The William Tyndale Project

We have always had some difficulties at services and in arranging events because we have no toilet facilities at the church. We now have plans for adding these facilities and are seeking the necessary permissions.

We are also looking at ways to raise the necessary funds to implement this project.
