History

The church was designed by the architect Edwin Francis Reynolds in 1927[2] and constructed between 1929 and 1930. The builders were C. Bryant and Son and the cost was £20,415. The funding for the construction came from the sale of the site of St Mary's Church, Whittall Street, Birmingham.

The red-brick church and its hall were jointly given listed status in October 1995.[3]

The congregation of St Mary's Pype Hayes are mission partners with CPAS, Malawi, Mercy Air, St Basil's and TearFund.[4]

Organ

The church contains an organ dating from 1900 by Nicholson and Lord. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[5]

gollark: For the bottled version, you have to produce the plastic and labels and such and bottling plants, which I believe are nontrivial.
gollark: You can get free tap water here, just not in bottles.
gollark: No it isn't. If you want complex things you need to handle more complex coordination.
