All Saints’ Church, Gravelly Hill is a parish church in the Church of England. It is located in Birmingham, England.
A Look Back at All Saints' Church
This church was built between 1900 and 1901. The plans were created by an architect named V.S. Peel. It was first built as a chapel of ease. This means it was a smaller church for people who lived far from the main parish church, which was St Barnabas' Church, Erdington.
In 1918, the church was made bigger by an architect named William Bidlake.
Becoming a Parish Church
In 1928, the church was officially consecrated. This means it was formally dedicated for religious use. A year later, in 1929, All Saints' Church became its own parish. A parish is a specific area that a church serves. This new parish was created from parts of the areas covered by St Barnabas' Church, Erdington and St Peter and St Paul's Church, Aston.
Later, in 1934, a small part of All Saints' parish was used to create a new parish. This new area was for St Mark's Church, Stockland Green.
