Weoley Hill United Reformed Church is a special church in Birmingham, England. You can find it where Bryony Road and Green Meadow Road meet. This church is well-known for its unique roof design. It has a stepped shape, often called a "Scottish gable" or a "Danish-style gable."
A Look Back in Time
The church first opened its doors on July 1, 1933. It was designed by an architect named J.R. Armstrong. He worked for the Bournville Village Trust. Building the church cost about £600 back then.
When it first started, the church was known as a Presbyterian Chapel. Later, in 1972, it became a United Reformed Church. This happened when the Presbyterian Church of England and the Congregational Church in England and Wales joined together.
The Church Organ
The organ inside the church was built by a company called Conacher of Sheffield. It is a beautiful pipe organ. You can find more details about this organ on the National Pipe Organ Register.
