St Cuthbert’s Church, Winson Green is a former Church of England parish church in Birmingham.
History
The church was started in 1863 as a mission from All Saints' Church, Hockley. Eventually funds were raised for a church building and it was designed by Bateman and Corser. It was consecrated on 24 October 1860[1] Part of the parish was taken to form a new parish of Bishop Latimer Memorial Church, Winson Green in 1904.
The church was hit by a bomb during the Second World War and despite reopening, did not last long. It was closed in 1960 and demolished in 1964. The church hall survives.
The parish was assigned back to Christ Church, Summerfield.
Organ
The organ was installed by Bishop, Starr & Richardson. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[2]
