Holy Family Church is a Roman Catholic parish situated on the High Street in Bewdley. The building is a Grade II* listed structure of significant architectural merit, originally built around 1778 as a Presbyterian meeting house. It features a unique Palladian design with an oval floor plan and was rescued from use as a builder’s store before being restored and dedicated as a Catholic church in 1953. Today, it is part of the Archdiocese of Birmingham and is served by the clergy from the Parish of St Wulstan and St Thomas of Canterbury in Stourport-on-Severn.
The church remains an active place of worship, providing a peaceful environment for the local Catholic community and visitors alike. In 2013, the facility was updated with a modern circular meeting room extension and improved disabled access to ensure it remains accessible for all parishioners. The interior retains its historic gallery and is notable for a restored terracotta plaque of the Holy Family, which serves as a central devotional feature.
Regular services include a Sunday Mass at 08:00 and weekday Masses, typically held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:00. The parish works closely with its sister church in Stourport to provide sacramental preparation and community outreach across the district. Its central location on the High Street makes it a prominent landmark for those exploring the historic town centre.
