Amblecote

 

Anglican:  Holy Trinity


Holy Trinity is striking yellow brick church, with a large graveyard, situated on rising ground about 1/2 mile north of Stourbridge town centre. The building was completed in 1844, the architect was Samuel Heming. Amblecote was a centre of the English glass industry and the church contains much fine 20th century stained glass. The style of worship is Anglo-Catholic and has been since the early 20th century when the church was re-ordered.  Holy Trinity is usually open daily during daylight hours.
