Churches (159) : St Peter, Harborne

St Peter's in Harborne, nowadays a suburb of Birmingham, dates from the medieval period though all that remains of that church is the 14th century tower. The church was built on the site of an earlier Saxon church, it is thought that St Chad may have preached there. Most of the current church dates from a Victorian rebuilding in 1867.

The church has a nave, aisles, transepts and an apsidal chancel. The church is built from red sandstone, the newer parts being rock faced.
