St. Mary the Virgin, Warwick Road, Acocks Green, was designed in the 13th C. style by J.G. Bland and consecrated in 1866 as a chapel of ease of St. Edburgha's, Yardley. In 1867 it became a parish church; the parish was assigned out of St. Edburgha's, and enlarged in 1907 by parts of Hall Green parish. In 1931 part of the parish was taken to form part of St. Edmund, Tyseley.
The church was enlarged in 1882; badly damaged by enemy action in 1940, the stone building was restored during the 1950s, and the clerestory and roof were rebuilt.
The living is in the gift of public trustees; it was a perpetual curacy from 1857 and a vicarage from 1868. Spring Lane mission room was licensed for public worship from 1881 to 1908; St. Gabriel's mission room, Summer Road, from 1909 to 1926, and Bishop Westcott Church Hall, Greenwood Avenue, from 1936.
