Administrative / biographical background

St Margaret's Church was originally built c.1517 by Thomas Bond, Lord of Ward End Manor. The Chapel lay in ruins from 1730 until 1833 when it was re-built. The new church was dedicated in 1834 and consecrated in 1841. In 1870 a parish was created out of St Peter & St Paul, Aston. A Mission Room in Blakeland Street was licensed for public worship from 1909 to 1924 and a Church Room in Sladefield Street from 1925 to the Second World War. St Paul's Mission Room in Bordesley Green was licensed in 1912 and consecrated in 1929. In 1935 Christ Church, Ward End was consecrated as a Chapel of Ease to St Margaret's. Parts of St Margaret's parish were taken to form St Paul's Bordesley Green (1928) and part of St Mary and St John's, Shaw Hill (1929).
