In the period beginning in the 1950s, following new housing developments, the area changed from one based mainly on farming to one in which many people found employment in the aircraft industry or travelled to work in Bristol. Following the new building, and subsequent increase in population, in 1953 Patchway and more recently Bradley Stoke became parishes in their own right. In 1976 a new trust deed which widened the possible beneficiaries was agreed and the area of benefit was designated as the parish of Almondsbury as it existed in 1881. In 1997 Almondsbury Church Lands Charity became ALMONDSBURY CHARITY, the name it still retains.
