Church of the Ascension Hall Green
A chance to have a look around this beautiful Church consecrated in 1704 as Job Marston’s Chapel, and a place of Christian worship to this day. The building is the only Church in Birmingham completed during Queen Anne’s Reign and is a good example of the Queen Anne style. It was probably designed by Sir William Wilson, or at least influenced by him. The transepts and chancel were seamlessly added in the 1860s to give the building its cruciform shape.
Friendly volunteers will be on hand to show you around and refreshments (tea, coffee, squash, biscuits) will be available in the adjacent hall for a modest cost.
The small on-site car park – accessed from School Road – can be full during events but there is plenty of on street parking and good level access from both School Road and Fox Hollies Road.
There will be booklets about the history of the church available to buy at £3 each.
