History

The foundation stone was laid on 11 April 1908 by the diocesan registrar J.B. Clarke[1] The church was built to designs by the architect Edwin Francis Reynolds and consecrated on Saturday 30 October 1908 by the Bishop of Birmingham.[2]

The parish was formed from land taken from St James' Church, Hill.

Enlargements were undertaken in 1954 when a choir vestry was added, and the chancel and clergy vestry were added in 1965 by Wood, Kendrick & Williams.

Organ

The church has a pipe organ by Nicholson dating from 1921. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[3]
