St Silas' Church, Grade II listed church in Birmingham, England
St Silas' Church exhibits Victorian architectural elements with galleries across the transepts and at the western section of the nave structure.
Frederick Gough, 4th Baron Calthorpe, placed the foundation stone in 1852, depositing a vase with coins underneath covered by a brass plate.
The church initially provided 1000 seats, including 340 free spaces, reflecting the social considerations of religious institutions in Victorian Birmingham.
The building, located on Preston New Road, requires special permissions for any structural modifications due to its Grade II listed status.
Composer Albert Ketèlbey started his musical career as the head chorister at St Silas' Church during his youth years.
