St Mary's Church, Victorian church building in Selly Oak, England.

The church contains nine stained glass windows made by John Hardman, displaying detailed craftsmanship with grouped quatrefoil clerestory windows and limestone facings.

The foundation stone of St Mary's Church was laid on July 12, 1860, and Bishop Philpot consecrated the building on September 12, 1861.

The parish church conducts regular services, including Holy Communion every Sunday at 8 a.m., following the Book of Common Prayer during winter months.

The church building stands 150 feet tall with its spire, constructed from sandstone obtained from a former quarry in Weoley Castle.

The churchyard remains consecrated land despite burial practices ending on December 12, 1873, marking a transition in the community's burial traditions.
