Birmingham Oratory, Catholic oratory in Edgbaston, Birmingham, England
The Birmingham Oratory features a prominent dome and follows a neo-Baroque architectural design created by Edward Doran Webb between 1907 and 1910.
Cardinal John Henry Newman established this religious community in 1849 as the first Oratory of Saint Philip Neri congregation house in England.
The Oratory maintains a musical tradition incorporating compositions from Palestrina, Haydn, and Mozart during religious services throughout the liturgical year.
Visitors can access the building through the car park, attend daily masses in Latin or English, and purchase religious materials at the repository shop.
The Oratory House preserves Cardinal Newman's personal papers and living quarters, where he resided from 1852 until his death in 1890.
