About Church of the Ascension, Stirchley
The Church of the Ascension, Stirchley is an Anglican church in Birmingham, West Midlands. The present church dates from 1973 and replaced the original structure, which was lost to a fire in 1965. It stands alongside St Hugh of Lincoln, a former church that became the replacement building’s hall.
The first building was begun in Hazelwell Street in 1898 and opened following consecration on 30 October 1901. William Hale created it as a subsidiary place of worship for St Mary’s in Moseley. In 1912, it gained a parish formed from areas previously served by St Mary’s and St Nicolas’ in Kings Norton. Fire consumed the building on 29 October 1965, leading to its removal. Romilly Craze planned its successor, where salvaged stained glass, liturgical silver, processional crosses, vestments and depictions of Christ’s journey to Calvary were retained. A Norman and Beard organ from 1901 did not survive the fire.
