Church in Birmingham, England
Christ Church can be seen in the centre of this print of 1886 between the Town Hall and the Council House
Christ Church, Birmingham , was a parish church in the Church of England on Colmore Row , Birmingham from 1805 to 1899.
History [ edit ]
Concert admission ticket, 1805 or 1806, showing the original design, with a cupola instead of a spire Christ Church viewed from St Phillip's in a painting by Samuel Lines, 1821 Foundation stone, now in St Agatha's Church, Sparkbrook
The church building was built by public subscription. The site was donated by William Phillips Ing.[1] George Legge, 3rd Earl of Dartmouth .[1] King George III , who had intended to lay the foundation stone personally, but was prevented from doing so by illness. The King gave £1,000[1] [2] [3] [1] William Hollins .
It was consecrated on 6 July 1813 by James Cornwallis, 4th Earl Cornwallis , the Bishop of Lichfield .[1] [1]
It was built in stone in the Classical style with Doric columns dominating the west front. The square west tower, completed in 1814, supported an octagonal belfry and an octagonal spire. The original design had included a cupola instead of a spire.[4] John Baskerville .[1]
The parish was assigned from St Martin in the Bull Ring and St. Philips' Church in 1865.
The building and site were sold in 1897; the proceeds were used to build St Agatha's Church, Sparkbrook . The church was demolished in 1899. Part of the parish was given to St Barnabas' Church, Birmingham .
In 2021 a new church without a fixed building called Christ Church Birmingham opened and now serves communities across the City and beyond.
