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]

gollark: The "from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs" thing seems like it wouldn't produce much of an incentive to work, and also people *want* stuff as well as needing some stuff.
gollark: Also better taxes on externalities.
gollark: Anyway, my economic ideals are something like: government-regulated-a-bit (mostly to deal with monopolies) free markets for most things, Georgism, smallish government, and UBI.
gollark: Good job Android.
