Administrative / biographical background

St. Michael's Church, in St. Michael's Road, off Soho Hill in Handsworth, was designed by William Bourne of Dudley and consecrated in 1855 as a chapel of ease to Handsworth St. Mary. A parish was assigned out of St. Mary's in 1861, but part of this was taken to form the parish of Handsworth St Peter in 1907. The church has no burial ground. The living had the status of a perpetual curacy until 1868, when it became a vicarage. The patronage was in the gift of the rector of Handsworth St. Mary until being transferred to the Bishop of Lichfield in 1892. St. Michael's Mission Room was licensed for worship from 1888 to 1893 and Church House, Soho Road, from 1908-26.
