History

The church was built in 1840 and restored in 1890 by Frank Barlow Osborn and Alfred Reading. The entrance porch was added in 1928.

A parish was assigned in 1841 from St John the Baptist’s Church, Halesowen. Part of the parish was taken in 1933 to form the parish of St Faith and St Laurence's Church, Harborne.
