Oldbury-on-Severn war memorials

War Memorial Hall, Camp Road, Oldbury-on-Severn

The original hall was built between 1924 and 1926 and was largely funded by donations from returning servicemen out of their demobilisation payment. Its purpose was for social gatherings and games etc. Ex-servicemen had free entry. There is an engraved tablet reading 'Lest we Forget' on the outside gable end. The gates repeat these words, and indicate the dates of both WWI and WWII. The original structure has been increased in size in three phases and the unit now operates as a self-supporting village hall.

St. Arilda's Church, Oldbury-on-Severn

Within the church there are two memorial tablets bearing the names of those who lost their lives. The first is of engraved brass and it lists a large number of names of those who fell during WWI. Records indicate that this tablet was erected by the Oldbury-on-Severn War Memorial Hall charity. The second tablet relates to WWII and it is believed to have been erected by the parish.
