Erdington Abbey, Gothic Revival Catholic church in Erdington, Birmingham, England

The church features a prominent 117-foot-high steeple and incorporates architectural elements designed by Augustus Pugin, including decorative plate work by Hardman.

Bishop Ullathorne consecrated the church on June 11, 1850, after Father Heneage established the initial chapel on Erdington High Street in 1847.

The cemetery within the abbey grounds contains memorial sites for seven military personnel who served during World War I and World War II.

Located at 49 Sutton Road in Birmingham, the church maintains regular Mass schedules and provides transportation assistance through a minibus service.

German Benedictine monks from Beuron managed the abbey from 1876 until World War I, when they returned to Germany due to wartime circumstances.
