St Mary’s Church, Whittall Street, is a former Church of England parish church in Birmingham. ==History== St. Mary's Church, Whittall Street, was built in 1774, under an Act of 1772,〔The History of Birmingham. William Hutton and James Guest. Rights and Webb. 1836〕 as a chapel of ease to St Martin in the Bull Ring. The building was designed by Joseph Pickford.〔Joseph Pickford of Derby, Edward Saunders, Sutton Publishing Ltd. 1993. p.118〕 Two years after opening, part of a gallery collapsed during a service which fortunately, did not result in any injuries. In 1786 John Wesley attended a service and heard a sermon by the first incumbent Edward Burn. A parish was assigned to St. Mary's in 1841 out of St Martin in the Bull Ring Structural problems were discovered in 1866 and the tower and spire were subsequently rebuilt in a Gothic style. In 1925 the church was closed pending demolition for the expansion of Birmingham General Hospital. The parish was united with that of Bishop Ryder Church, Birmingham. The proceeds of the sale went to build St Mary's Church, Pype Hayes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Mary's Church, Whittall Street, Birmingham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
