St Mary's Convent, Handsworth, Grade II* listed convent in Handsworth, Birmingham, England.
St Mary's Convent displays Gothic and Victorian architectural elements with ornate carvings, stained glass windows, and detailed stone work throughout the structure.
Augustus Pugin designed the convent in 1841, with construction funded by a £2000 contribution from the Earl of Shrewsbury and land donated by John Hardman.
The convent houses numerous stained glass pieces created by Hardman & Co, depicting the missionary work of the Sisters of Mercy in Birmingham.
Visitors can join monthly guided tours at 2 PM or arrange private weekday visits, with the facility offering conference spaces and exhibition areas.
The chapel served as the main parish church until 1847, when increasing congregation numbers required the construction of a larger worship space.
