St Alban the Martyr, Anglican parish church in Highgate, Birmingham, England

The Victorian Gothic church features red brick exterior walls, stone vaulting inside, and a saddle-back tower added in 1938 by architect E.F. Reynolds.

The foundation stone was placed in 1880 by Frederick Lygon, and the building, designed by John Loughborough Pearson, opened for worship in May 1881.

The reredos in St Patrick's Chapel contains five tempera panels by Kate Bunce depicting Jesus, Mary, and British birds with a copper frame by Myra Bunce.

The church offers step-free access to the nave through a side entrance, adapted toilets, and information cards for self-guided exploration of the building.

The interior stone vaulting structure stands in contrast with the exterior brick walls, displaying an uncommon architectural approach for churches of this period.
