The church is a fine example of late perpendicular architecture.

This Grade II listed building is the oldest church in the centre of West Bromwich.

Founded as a monastic community in 654AD, the cathedral became one of the most significant medieval abbeys in the country, the burial place of two queens and the scene of Civil War upheavals.

The ancient village centre stands above the flood plain of the river Nene.

Externally it is the late 15th century tower that grabs one's attention.

Built in the 13th century, the oldest part is the low tower which is surmounted by a small spirelet that is completely out of proportion with the rest of the building!

The first view one has of the village is that of the tower of the greenstone church of St Margaret with its dominating red clock. Created in 1787 by horologist Edmund Howard, the long drop clock is truly a remarkable piece of engineering.

The first Wesleyan Methodist chapel was built in 1786 in the district known as The Wong or Cagthorpe. It was replaced by a new chapel on the same site in 1806.

There has been a building on the site since 1230, when Simon de Tynton was presented by William de Lisures to be the first Rector.

Described by Pevsner as ‘one of the most exciting Cheshire churches’ with plenty of bosses and also some dainty openwork pendants’.
