Church of the Messiah, Birmingham, Victorian church building in Birmingham, England
The Church of the Messiah stands along Broad Street, featuring Gothic architectural elements and a design that spans across the Birmingham Canal.
Built between 1860 and 1862 by architect John Jones Bateman, the church replaced an earlier chapel on Moor Street that served the congregation since 1732.
The church congregation included notable figures such as Joseph Chamberlain and members of the Martineau family, who became Birmingham Lord Mayors.
The building accommodated 950 people and contained an organ from William Hill and Son, installed in 1882 at a cost of £1,571.
The structure remained operational until 1973, when the congregation moved to Five Ways, followed by the building's demolition in 1978.
