History

The church was built in 1864 by the architect George Edmund Street. It is noted for its stained glass windows by Edward Burne-Jones.

Today

The church is part of the Diocese of Birmingham, the archdeaconry of Aston, The Deanery of Polesworth and is in the parish of Amington. The vicar is currently Revd. Ben Green.

Services take place every Sunday at 10:30am (contemporary) and 6:30pm (sung BCP Evening Prayer), and every other week there is a BCP Holy Communion service at 8:30am. Additionally there is a service of Wholeness and Healing on the second Monday of every month, at 7:30pm.

Every Thursday morning during term-time the church is open for a Stay Play and Pray group called The Ark.

Every Thursday throughout the year, between 2pm and 4pm, the church is open as part of the national Places of Welcome scheme.

Full details of all current activities can be found on the church's website.

Organ

The church has an organ which originally was built by George Holdich. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[2]

gollark: I don't not not not not not, and *wow* you spend 40 minutes on supper?
gollark: I think either the piston will fly out or it'll be too weak to function usefully with the power they can provide it but who knows.
gollark: Apparently whoever is doing the projectile thing is making a simple vaguely coilgun-type thing. I have no idea if it will actually work as they explained it.
gollark: Does it doing combustion count as *on* fire?
