A warm welcome to the website of St. Oswald’s, the Town Centre Church of Oswestry, which has been a place of worship for almost 1000 years. Worship is supported by choral music of high quality and by thoughtful preaching, prayer and action. St. Oswald’s works closely in friendship with other local churches and organisations in the wider community as we seek to share God’s love for all.
Vicar:- Rev. Harvey Gibbons, M.A.

WARNING, SCAM ALERT!!
People have had calls from a mobile number (07999 800085) from a person with a North East accent, claiming to have engaged with the church over the last few months. He tells a story about how he has lost his job, his rent is in arrears and how he, his wife and children are about to be evicted. They have been loaned most of the money they need to prevent this but just need "the help of someone who is a good Christian and Samaritan". He is asking for 300 pounds that he will pay back next week. THIS IS A SCAM. DO NOT TRUST HIM.
