St Francis of Assisi Church, Handsworth, Gothic Revival church in Lozells, Birmingham, United Kingdom.
The church features a triple-gabled facade with five-bay arcades and red brick construction, complemented by Bath stone dressings and ribbed timber vaulting.
The foundation stone was laid in May 1893 by Bishop Edward Ilsley, and Cardinal Herbert Vaughan officially opened the church on February 2, 1894.
The interior work, including all stained glass windows, was completed by Hardman & Co., with an Annunciation window designed by William John Wainwright.
The church holds five Sunday Masses and daily morning services, while the adjacent St Francis Centre provides community facilities including a hall and kitchen.
The construction debt of £9000 was fully repaid before the church consecration on June 21, 1900, marking a significant achievement for the parish community.
