| AdminHistory | St Nicolas Church is probably of Norman foundation, although most of the fabric is thirteenth century or later. The church was formerly a chapel annexed to the church of Bromsgrove. It was severed from Bromsgrove in 1846 and the living was declared a vicarage in 1866. It is in the gift of the Dean and Chapter of Worcester.
A number of parishes have been formed out of all or parts of the ecclesiastical parish of St Nicolas: St Mary, Moseley (1853), St Paul, Balsall Heath (1853), St Agnes, Cotteridge (1916), Christ Church, Yardley Wood (1849), All Saints, Kings Heath (1863), the Ascension, Stirchley (1912), St Francis, Bournville (1926), St Mary Magdalen, Hazelwell (1932), St John the Baptist, Longbridge (1957), St Bede, Brandwood (1963), St Anne, West Heath (1966). |
