All Saints’ Church, Gravelly Hill is a parish church in the Church of England in Birmingham.[1]

History

The church was built between 1900 and 1901 to designs by the architect V.S. Peel, as a chapel of ease to St Barnabas' Church, Erdington. It was enlarged in 1918 by William Bidlake.

In 1928 the church was consecrated, and in 1929 a parish was assigned out of St Barnabas' Church, Erdington and St Peter and St Paul's Church, Aston.[2]

In 1934, part of the parish was taken to form a new parish for St Mark's Church, Stockland Green.
