History
The village of Alvechurch is steeped in
history, it dates back to at least 700AD. In 780AD a Christian
woman called Aelf-gyth founded a church here and the village’s
name is a corruption of Aelf-Gyth Church.
The Bishop of Worcester had his palace
here for several hundred years, and the ruins are still evident.
