St John the Evangelist’s Church, Perry Barr is a Grade II listed parish church in the Church of England[1] in the Perry Barr area of Birmingham, England.
History[]
The building was designed by the architect Robert Studholme. Work started in 1831.[2]
The church was consecrated on 6 August 1833 by Rt Revd Henry Ryder, Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry.[3]
The church was enlarged in 1888 with the construction of the chancel, organ chamber and vestries by J.A. Chatwin at a cost of £1,600.[4] The builder was Collins of Tewkesbury.
In 1894, two transepts were added.[citation needed]
In 1894, part of the parish was taken to form a new parish for St Paul's Church, Hamstead.
The church functions in the catholic tradition within the Church of England, and is a member of "Inclusive Church", welcoming all, regardless of background, race, sexuality, ability, or status.
Organ[]
The church has a two manual pipe organ. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[5]
