Our Lady Help of Christians Church, Brutalist Catholic church in Tile Cross, Birmingham, England.
The church features a T-shaped floor plan with curved concrete trusses covered in copper cladding, surrounding a central altar placement for the congregation.
Richard Gilbert Scott designed this religious structure in 1967, following the architectural guidelines established by the Second Vatican Council of the 1960s.
The interior space includes stained glass windows created by artist John Chrestien, filling the spaces between the concrete structural framework.
The Grade II* listed building stands at East Medway, with regular Sunday mass services held at 09:30 and 17:00 for the local community.
The structural design incorporates serrated ribbed trusses made of reinforced concrete, demonstrating the intersection of engineering and religious architecture.
