This is the main church in Moseley Village, supposedly is more than 600 years old, but the current building dates to the 18th century.

It is a Grade II listed building.

A church of C15 origin, built as a chapel in the parish of Kings Norton but

a subsequent history of numerous rebuilds and enlargements. The plain stone

west tower is an early C16 addition but with much brick refacing. The body

of the church was rebuilt in 1780 and considerably altered by Thomas Rickman

1823-24. Finally, under Chatwins father and son, a complete reconstruction,

excluding the tower, was initiated. J A Chatwin added the north aisle 1886,

enlarged to chancel and provided a side chapel in 1897. The nave and south

aisle were rebuilt in 1910 by P B Chatwin who also carved out reconstruction

following war domain in 1952-54. Ashlar elevations in a competent simply

modelled Decorated style typical of the Chatwin practice. Crennellation

to tower parapet.

Church of St Mary, Moseley - Heritage Gateway

Below is info from Bill Dargue - places - Moseley

Moseley's parish church was founded rather later than Birmingham's other ancient churches. St Mary's is first mentioned in 1405 in a declaration of the church as a chapel-of-ease of Kings Norton church licensed by the Bishop of Worcester on the authority of Pope Innocent VII. It is likely to have been set up by wealthy local residents to save themselves the long journey to Kings Norton every Sunday morning. At that time the route ran via Dogpool Lane across the wide marshy valley of the River Rea, which was prone to flooding in winter. The oldest surviving part of the building is the tower which was built in 1514 using forty-eight wagon-loads of stone reused from Bromsgrove's old parsonage.

By 1780 the chapel had fallen into such disrepair that services could no longer be held here. The fallen roof was repaired and the church was encased in brick with fashionable round-headed windows in neo-classical style. But only forty years later, fashions had changed and the leading gothicist, Thomas Rickman was employed to remove the alterations and regothicise the church. He plastered the external brick-clad walls to look like stone, added cast-iron girders simulated as timber and put gothic-style iron frames in the windows.

Another forty years on and all of Rickman's work was lost in further gothic restoration. In 1876 the Birmingham architect, J A Chatwin restored, rebuilt and extended the building. Ten years later a north aisle was added, and in 1897 the chancel and transept were built, bringing the church to its present size. The nave and south aisle were reconstructed in 1910 by Chatwin's son, P B Chatwin who later also repaired the German bomb damage which occurred in 1940 during the Second World War.

St Mary's has a unique ring of bells which attracts visiting ringers from all over the country. The peal originated in Sheffield. In a pioneering venture in 1861, eight steel bells cast by a Sheffield foundry were loaned to St Marie's Roman Catholic Church. This was an unusual experiment as English bells have been made from time immemorial with a copper-tin alloy known as bell metal. In comparison with bell metal, steel bells are very heavy for the note they produce. The steel bells were bought for St Mary's in 1874 by Sir John Holder of Pitmaston, Moor Green.

However, when the church was partially rebuilt in 1910, the ringing room floor was removed and the bells could no longer be rung full circle, only chimed with hammers. Examination in 1979 found the bell installation to be unsafe and it was recommended that it should be removed. However, a suggestion was made to the Parochial Church Council that the bells could and should be restored, these being now the only surviving steel bells in the country. After a great deal of fund-raising and 5000 hours of volunteer labour, the restoration was completed by Easter 1991, when the bells were rung after morning service for the first time in over 80 years.

Originally this was just the walker part of the build, then I added a landing pad when I found out how strong it was after strength testing it, then I decided why not add two more. I might make a rebel AT-MCC later down the line, but for now, at least, I’m done with this build

The Webb Ellis Cup has completed its journey around Dubai as part of the Rugby World Cup Trophy Tour. The first day of the visit saw pupils from Rashid School for boys get a chance to see the Trophy. With many of the pupils already playing Rugby, it was an inspirational moment to get so close to the game’s biggest prize. Later that day the Webb Ellis Cup was guest of honour at a reception hosted by the British Embassy which was attended by various members of the local Rugby community. This included a number of previous Rugby World Cup stars including former Wales international, Tom Shanklin, former Scotland international, Rory Lawson and former Samoan international, Apollo Perelini.

At long last I have completed the garden and patio project here at Palm Lake Fern Bay, time it took was a bit shorter than I thought, now we wait for the plants to mature. Erika is very pleased with the result

For the first time in more than a quarter-century, a new space vehicle stands ready in NASA Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building in Florida. The final segments of the Ares I-X rocket, including the simulated crew module and launch abort system, were stacked on Aug. 13 on a mobile launcher platform, completing the 327-foot launch vehicle and providing the first entire look of Ares I-X’s distinctive shape. The Ares I-X flight test is targeted for Oct. 31.

I finally finished this quilt. It's all scrap from Pendleton Woolen Mills. Since the fabric is a nice heavy wool I decided not to put a batting in the center. I did back it with a lightweight yellow wool that I bought at City Liquidators. It's warm and the perfect afternoon blanket to for a nap.

Complete!

On or just after the day of 'Mahalaya', generally the coloring of idols of Goddess Durga and her family is completed. In some house first layer of dressing is also completed.

The traditional six day countdown to Mahasaptami - the first day of Durga puja, starts from Mahalaya.
