St Augustine of Hippo |

St Augustine of Hippo is the parish church of Rotton Park in Edgbaston.
Designed by JA Chatwin in the late 13th century style, it was built in
sandstone with limestone banding in 1866-68 and features an apsidal
chancel, north chancel, nave, aisles and 55-metre tower and spire: the
tallest in Birmingham.
The ashlar-faced interior contains a painted ceiling, carvings by
Roddis, stained glass by Hardman and reredos inspired by Da Vinci's Last
Supper; a narthex was added in 1968.
St Augustine's has a strong musical tradition and was the first
church with a surpliced choir in Birmingham. |

St Peter's Harborne |
|
|
|
Saint Peters is on Old Church Road in the Harborne area of south
Birmingham. Dating from 1200, it is the historic parish church of
Harborne but was substantially rebuilt by Yeoville Thomasen in the
1880's; the tower is 14th century and was completed by unskilled
labourers after the Black Death which explains why the clock, belfry and
west door are out of line.
The interior contains stained-glass windows, a Victorian lectern and
tiling; a richly-decorated pulpit with marble and alabaster statues of
Jesus and the Apostles (1885); four charity boards (circa 1700), six
sculptured angels; symbols of the Apostles and stained glass windows.
The famous Victorian landscape artist David Cox and Anne Vere
Chamberlain, wife of Neville Chamberlain, are buried in the churchyard. |
