The Church of st. Mary the virgin, Church Lane, Rudford At the centre of the community is Rudford church, which nestles by the banks of the river Leadon. ‘Set in green pastures by the River Leadon’ from The king’s England, Gloucestershire by Arthur Mee. A church has stood on this site for the last 1200 years, one of the earliest sites of Christianity in Gloucestershire. The first recorded incumbent was 1297. The Church is steeped in history and it is known that cavaliers killed at the Battle of Barber’s Bridge in 1643 are buried in the chancel. The Church is not only important for its past, it plays a major role in the present life of the villages of Rudford and Highleadon. It marks the rhythm of life through baptisms, weddings and funerals, and it is a focal point for a number of village events. It is venue for splendid musical concerts, poetry readings, flower festivals, art and craft exhibitions, and attracts great support for all social functions.
