The church was built as a chapel of ease between 1822–23 to a design by Thomas Rickman. [2] [3] The church was famous for its sixteen stained glass windows depicting scenes of the life of Jesus and stories from the scriptures, including the Raising of Lazarus, The Resurrection, The Good Samaritan and St Paul and St Barnabas, [4] which were also designed by Thomas Rickman. [5] It was consecrated on July 23, 1824. [6] The church was built by the Commissioners at a cost of £5,000, (equivalent to £560,000in 2023), [7] £1,000 of which was collected through public donations.

On the morning of 4 October 2007, the building was severely damaged by fire. Approximately 75 firefighters and 15 engines from West Midlands Fire Service attended the fire at 06:00 GMT. [10] The roof and all but one of the stained glass windows were completely destroyed, though the clock and bell tower and walls remained intact. [11] Bishop of Birmingham, David Urquhart, stated he was determined to rebuild the church. [12] It is believed that the fire was caused by arsonists. [4] [ failed verification ]
