St Agnes Church, Moseley is a Grade II listed[1] parish church in the Church of England[2] in Moseley, Birmingham.
It was designed by the architect William Davis in the Decorated Gothic style. Work started in 1883 and it opened in 1884.[1] The East window contains the subject of "Christ in Glory" and was designed by Ballantine and Gardiner of Edinburgh and installed at a cost of £600 to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897.[3]
The west tower was completed in 1932 by Charles Bateman. The lych-gate in the churchyard was designed by James A. Swan[4] and installed in 1938. In the interior Swan designed the panelling, choir stalls, pulpit, lectern, screens and doors dating from 1939 which was carved by Robert Pancheri of The Bromsgrove Guild of Applied Arts.
The church was damaged by bombing in 1940. Temporary repairs were carried out and it re-opened on 23 March 1941.[5]
St Agnes' Church is within the conservative evangelical tradition of the Church of England, and has passed resolutions to show that it rejects the ordination and/or leadership of women.[6]
