Saint Pauls-in-the-Jewellery-Quarter
Saint-Paul's-in-the-Jewellery-Quarter was built in ashlar as the third parish church of Birmingham by Roger Eykyn in 1776-79.

The belfry and spire were added by Francis Goodwin in 1823 and are modelled on Saint-Martins-in-the-Field, Trafalgar Square, London.

Saint Paul's has a shallow chancel which allows for a long nave with a west porch and vestries; the interior contains original Georgian box pews and a three-sided gallery on Ionic columns; the East Window (1785) by Francis Eginton depicts scenes from the life of Saint Paul.

Other treasures include wall tablets by the sculptor William Hollins to whom an aisle window is dedicated, a marble bust of Hollins by his son Peter, and the Millennium Window which depicts molten silver pouring onto a map of the Jewellery Quarter.

The church, which enjoys excellent acoustics, is set in the only surviving Georgian square in Birmingham.
