We are a Church of England parish in the diocese of St. Albans, and we try to make everyone welcome, whatever their age, background or previous experience of church. You will find us a friendly group of people of all ages, who enjoy taking part in the varied services - which includes a strong musical tradition - and the many other activities that make up the life of our church. A full list of our groups and activities is on the 'church groups' page, and we are delighted to welcome many people from the community to use our facilities and you will find some of these groups listed on the 'hall groups' page.

St Oswald's was built in 1937 to serve the rapidly expanding housing north of "old" Croxley Green, and was designed as a dual purpose building, acting as both a church and a hall. It was divided at the chancel by wooden screens, which were removed for Sundays so the whole building became the church; these were replaced for Monday, when the chairs were moved to the side, and the hall section used for other activities - during the war mainly as an infant school, which later became the nearby Malvern Way School. Shown here is how the interior looked in 1938, although nowadays the choir seating is rather more comfortable!
