Parish History[edit | edit source]
Arley St Wilfred is an Ancient parish and consists of Old and New Arley and Sloley Hill. Old Arley contains the mediaeval church of St Wilfred, and a Methodist church nearby.

Arley's mining industry is now long gone. The two Anglican churches form one parish, and St Joseph's is run from St Anne's, Chapel End, Nuneaton.
