St Margaret’s Church Birmingham

There is an unusual memorial to William Hutton inside the church and also two fine examples of Burne-Jones stained glass, entitled Charity and Good Shepherd. Sadly, the building was closed as a church in 2005 due to falling numbers and the building fell into a poor state of repair.

Messenger was awarded the contract for the full schedule of works to enable the regeneration of St Margaret’s. The restoration, repair and alteration works undertaken include; repairs to the external walls, the roof, the windows and doors etc. The relocation of stained glass windows, general internal repairs and the repair and restoration of a number of existing monuments. Aside from the conservation related repairs and restoration, the works also provided for the formation of a new first floor area providing office space, a disabled toilet and a new kitchenette. Further works included the installation of a new staircase and platform lift as well as a number of bespoke timber and glazed screens.
