St Anne's Church, Birmingham, Catholic church in Deritend, England

St Anne's Church on Alcester Street exhibits Gothic Revival architecture with detailed stonework, tall windows, and a prominent bell tower.

Cardinal Newman established the original church in 1849 within a former gin distillery, serving Irish workers who settled in Birmingham's industrial district.

The church maintains strong connections to Birmingham's Irish community, with the annual St Patrick's Day Parade drawing 80,000 people to the surrounding area.

The parish conducts three weekly Sunday services, including a Saturday afternoon Vigil Mass and two Sunday morning celebrations for the congregation.

Literary figure J.R.R. Tolkien participated in religious services at St Anne's Church following his conversion to Catholicism in 1900.
