St Agatha's Church, Sparkbrook, Gothic revival church in Sparkbrook, Birmingham, England
The red brick church features a tall west tower, steep roofs, and detailed stone tracery windows designed by architect William Bidlake in 1899.
The church experienced severe damage during World War II when a German bomb destroyed the sanctuary end in 1940, followed by a fire in 1957.
The congregation maintains Anglo-Catholic traditions while sharing the space with a Russian Orthodox community, demonstrating interfaith cooperation within Birmingham.
Recent renovations in 2023 added accessible facilities, including modern restrooms and kitchen areas, while maintaining the building's architectural character.
The church contains the only preserved relic of Saint Agatha in England, displayed in a dedicated shrine within the church building.
