| AdminHistory | St Saviour was assigned out of the Parish of St Peter and St Paul's Aston in 1848. The building is brick built in the Perpendicular style, with apsidal chancel, nave, aisles and west tower. It was designed by the architect R. C. Hussey and consecrated in 1850. The church's spire was a later addition. Parts of the Parish were later taken to form the parish of St Mark, Washwood Heath (1907) and part of the parish of St Mary and St John, Shaw Hill (1929).
During the early part of the 20th century the church was very active; this is evident from the number of mission and daughter churches founded from St Saviour. St John's mission room, Couchman Road, was licensed as a mission in 1908 and later consecrated as St Mary and St John's, Shaw Hill (1935). Washwood Heath Chapel was licensed as a mission in 1890 and in 1899 was consecrated as St Mark's, Washwood Heath. St Luke's, Cherrywood Lane was licensed for public worship in 1901 until the Second World War. Further mission churches were at Saltley Training College, from 1905; St Francis's mission church, Arden Road, from 1906 to 1926; St. Matthew's mission church, Garrison Street, from 1906, transferred in 1907 to St Andrew's, Bordesley; the mission church of the Carpenter of Nazareth, Adderley Road, from 1907 until the Second World War; and Moat House Convent chapel from 1921 to 1926. |
