Welcome to Alberbury

Alberbury is a small village located in the county of Shropshire, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Severn and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Bronze Age. The name Alberbury is believed to have originated from the Old English words "alor" meaning alder tree and "burh" meaning fortified place.

One of the most notable landmarks in Alberbury is the St. Michael and All Angels Church. The church dates back to the 12th century and is a Grade I listed building. It features a Norman doorway, a 14th-century tower, and a 15th-century chancel. The church is known for its beautiful stained glass windows and is a popular destination for visitors to the village.

Alberbury is also home to a number of local businesses, including a post office, a village shop, and a pub. The village is known for its strong sense of community, with many events and activities taking place throughout the year. These include an annual village fete, a Christmas market, and a range of sporting events. Alberbury is a charming village that offers a peaceful and picturesque setting for visitors to enjoy.
