Churches (167) : St Mary and St Margaret, Castle Bromwich

The parish church of St Mary & St Margaret in Castle Bromwich had it's origin in a wooden Norman church built sometime in the 12th century (in about 1165). The church was originally only dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, with St Margaret added later on.

The church was rebuilt in the early 18th century in the Georgian classical style though parts of the original church, especially the roof timbers dating from at least the 15th century, are within the new structure. The church has two side chapels, a chancel, aisles and a west tower. The church is made from brick.
