All Saints’ Church, Hockley, originally known as All Saints’ Church, Nineveh, is a former Church of England parish church in Birmingham.
History
The church was designed by Thomas Rickman and Henry Hutchinson and was a Commissioners' church built on land given by Sir Thomas Gooch. It was consecrated on 28 September 1833 by the Bishop of Worcester.
A parish was assigned out of St Martin in the Bull Ring in 1834. All Saints’ Schools were built in 1843, with a contribution from the Queen Dowager of £20 and these buildings still exist on All Saints Street in Hockley.
A mission church was established in 1887 which became St Chrysostom’s Church, Hockley.
The church was enlarged in 1881, and demolished in 1966.
