Until 1863 this was
a chapelry of Thornbury. There was a fire in the church in about 1888
which destroyed all the church records. The only ones remaining are the
Bishops Transcripts. These can be viewed at the Gloucester Record Office,
and are on microfilm, not listed under Oldbury, but following those of
Thornbury
