St Michael and the Holy Angels

This Grade II listed building is the oldest church in the centre of West Bromwich. The original was built in 1832 and the present church was completed in 1907. George Spencer, one of its first priests, who is being considered for beatification, was the great great great uncle of Diana, Princess of Wales.

It is a substantial red brick church in the Early English style, built in two phases from designs by two notable Catholic church architects, and typical of many urban churches of its time. The interior is relatively little altered, but is unremarkable for its date; the chief interest of the building lies in its prominent townscape contribution in the West Bromwich High Street Conservation Area.
