St Edmund
Birmingham, West Midlands
A beautiful piece of Italianate architecture in the midst of inner city Birmingham.
An imposing early 20th century church which sits prominently in the district of Hall Green. Built and still owned by, the Methodist Church it is home to a Local Ecumenical Partnership comprised of Methodist, Moravian and United Reformed Church denominations.
Attractive art deco stained glass windows enhance the front of the church above the main entrance and the internal porch area. While the basic architecture of both the sanctuary and community hall reflect the Methodist style of the day, both areas have been sympathetically modernised enhancing the overall bright yet peaceful effect. More art deco stained glass can be seen in the transepts and in the chancel with its oak panelling, pulpit and communion rails.
Visitors able to use the staircase are invited to view the church from the balcony room.
