All Souls' Church is a former parish church in the Church of England in Witton, Birmingham, England[1] which is now used by the Church of God.

History

[edit]

In 1907, All Souls' Church on Wenlock Road was consecrated. It was built using red brick with stone dressings in the Gothic style to a design by Philip Chatwin. When opened, it had a chancel, nave, east and west aisles, and a low central tower with a pyramidal roof. In 1926, a parish was assigned out of Holy Trinity Church, Birchfield, and St. Peter and St. Paul, Aston. The living was declared a vicarage, in the gift of the Vicar of Holy Trinity, Birchfield, for the first turn only and then of the bishop.[2]

The church was declared redundant by the Church of England in 1981 and sold to the Church of God (International).
