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. New Arley contains St Michael's C of E and St Joseph's Catholic Church, both originally built in response to the influx of miners in the first half of the 20th century.
