Church of St Benedict, Hob Moor Road, Birmingham - Birmingham

Good example of a Byzantine revival Church, 1909, by Nichol and Nichol of Birmingham. It is a substantial church built in red brick and stone dressing and a plain tile roof. It has a basilica plan and the aisles and clearstories have parapets. The apse, with battered buttresses and a dome roof, complements the overall good design of the church. The church is in poor condition: the high-level brickwork, due to leaking parapets gutters, has open joints and damp patches. The stonework is also badly eroded throughout. The ashfelted dome and barrel roofs have also come to the end of their life.
