History of St Agnes' Church
St Agnes' Church started as a small church room in Cotteridge in 1898. It was like a branch of St Nicolas' Church, Kings Norton.
Building the Church
Building a new church began in 1902. The church was designed by architects Cossins, Peacock, and Bewlay. The new church was officially opened in 1903.
Becoming a Parish Church
In 1916, St Agnes' Church became its own parish. This meant it had its own area and a vicar. The land for the parish came from St Nicolas' Church, Kings Norton. Later, in 1937, some land from Cotteridge was given to the parish of Holy Cross in Billesley.
The Church Today
St Agnes' Church, along with the United Reformed Church, was taken down in 1985 and 1986. This was to make space for a supermarket and homes for older people. The two churches joined with the Methodist church. The Methodist church building was made bigger and is still there today. It is now known as The Cotteridge Church.
Church Organ
The church had an organ built in 1903 by a company called Norman and Beard. You can find details about this organ in the National Pipe Organ Register.
