Anglican: Christ Church


Situated on the A456, Hagley Road, Christ Church was built in 1840 and restored in 1890. The west end was extended with a narthex in 1928. There is an excellent collection of 19th and 20th century stained glass.
Quinton transferred from Worcestershire to the City of Birmingham in 1909. Christ Church transferred to the new Diocese of Birmingham in 1905. It is included here for historical purposes.
