What to do and see in Ladywood, England: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites

November 5, 2021 Rosalyn Ihle

The geographical heart of England, Birmingham started life as a sixth- century Anglo-Saxon village. Today, much of this city of over a million dates back to post-WWII redevelopment in the 1950s and 60s. Cutting edge museums and galleries, innovative theaters and excellent shopping have contributed to Birmingham's appeal as a weekend break destination. Don't miss the hopping bars and cafes of Gas Street Basin or the fascinating creatures at the National Sea Life Centre.

Birmingham Oratory

Reviewed By stephencU9837NC - Mount Pleasant, United States

After having attended the Canonization Mass for St. John Henry Newman (and 4 other new saints) in St. Peter's Square, Rome, I had the great pleasure to attend a Pontifical Solemn High Mass in thanksgiving for the founder's Canonization a few days previous. Everything was in Latin, with beautiful music (both Gregorian chant and polyphony) with the congregation joining with the choir for some parts of the Mass. The church was standing room only with many civic leaders present in preferred seating. It was stunning visually and otherwise totally inspiring.

St. Martin in the Bull Ring

Welcome to St Martin in the Bull Ring. This is one of the most ancient and contemporary buildings in Birmingham. Most of this Grade II listed church is from the nineteenth century. It was built in 1873 and is an example of gothic Victorian architecture, designed by Alfred Chatwin, from Birmingham, who also worked on the houses of parliament. But St Martin's is much older than that. There has been a church on this site since 1290 and may well have been a simple place of worship here in Saxon times. St Martin's is also a place of worship for a thriving community who refurbished the building in 2000 making it more light and open. In 2009 we created a tea lounge, healing center, and learning and advice service so our hospitality in the heart of the city could be extended. We believe that what Jesus called 'Life in all its fullness' can be discovered right here in the crosscurrents of the marketplace. You are very welcome to come in and walk around.
