Alvechurch is a large village and civil parish in the district of Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, in the West Midlands of England. It sits in the valley of the River Arrow beside the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, a short distance south of Birmingham and close to Redditch with the Lickey Hills nearby, so it feels both rural and well connected.
The village has a long history - its parish church of St Laurence has medieval origins - and today combines commuter links and small-scale local industry with a lively community life: independent shops, pubs, canal‑side walks and boat traffic, and a noted local side in Alvechurch Football Club. Residents often point to the blend of historic buildings, countryside access and good rail and road links as what makes the place appealing.
