Administrative / biographical background

St Basil's Church, Heath Mill Lane, originated as a temporary church which opened in 1886. A parish was assigned to it out of St Peter and St Paul's, Aston and was later enlarged by parts of Holy Trinity, Bordesley and St Andrew's Bordesley in 1896. A new church, designed by A.S. Dixon, was consecrated in 1911. The benefice, a perpetual curacy from 1904 and a vicarage from 1907, was in the gift of the bishop. In 1939, it was joined with the parish and benefice of St John, Deritend [see EP1] to form the united benefice of St John and St Basil. The church of St Basil was used as the parish church of the united benefice until 1970 when it closed. The benefice was united with the benefice of St Martin, Birmingham in 1978.
