History
The church was built between 1898 and 1904 to designs of the architect Thomas Proud, and was consecrated by Charles Gore, Bishop of Worcester on Saturday 10 June 1904.[2] It acquired its own parish in 1905 with land taken from St Paul's Church, Balsall Heath.[3]
A fire in 1970 resulted in an extensive rebuild. In 1990 the church was merged with St Agatha's Church, Sparkbrook to form a united parish.
