The stunning church by Bartley Green Reservoir
The church dates from the 15th century. It was altered around 1751 when the wooden tower was rebuilt in stone, restored in 1873 and there were other alterations and additions 1931 – 1932 by Bateman. There was another restoration in 1947 following a fire.
The tower main arch has a hood mould with head stops depicting King George V and Queen Mary.
The building is constructed from sandstone in a red and grey colour, until 1965 the tower contained two bells.[2] A new church hall was constructed in 2005

Rock of Ages, cleave for me.
Let me hide myself in Thee.
Buried in the sand,
Five hundred miles from Birmingham.
When the road got rough and the wheels all broke,
Couldn't take more than we could tow.
Making something out of nothing with a scratch and a hope,
Wth two old guitars like a shovel and a rope.
Rock of Ages, cleave for me.
Let me hide myself in Thee.
Now I understand,
On better terms since Birmingham.
