All Souls' Church is a building in Witton, Birmingham, England. It used to be a parish church for the Church of England. Today, it is used by the Church of God.
History
All Souls' Church was officially opened in 1907. It is located on Wenlock Road. The church was built using red bricks and stone decorations. It was designed in the Gothic style by an architect named Philip Chatwin.
When it first opened, the church had a main hall (called a nave), a special area for the altar (chancel), and side sections (aisles). It also had a low tower in the middle with a pyramid-shaped roof.
In 1926, All Souls' Church became its own parish. A parish is like a local area that a church serves. Before this, its area was part of other churches, like Holy Trinity Church, Birchfield and St. Peter and St. Paul, Aston.
The Church of England stopped using All Souls' Church in 1981. After that, it was sold to the Church of God (International), which uses the building today.
