| Description |
I was thinking of getting the bus (two buses) to Northfield, but when I got to my bus stop, it said that the next one was due in 50 minutes. I'm not waiting that long. It snowed over night, making me think I could go out somewhere snowy. Not to be if you have to wait ages for the bus. This is Hall Green Church with a snowy roundabout and dual carriageway in front of it. (The Church of Ascension in Hall Green) A Grade II* listed building dating to around 1703 or 1704. Dated 1704 and possibly by Sir William Wilson; altered. Red brick with stone dressings. Of the C18 the lower part of the projecting west tower and the nave, 3 bays long demarcated by giant Roman Doric pilasters carrying an entablature and balustrade. Arched windows in moulded stone surrounds with impost blocks and keystones. Quoins at the angles. In 1860 chancel and transepts were added in the same style as the C18 work. Also probably of 1860 the upper part of the tower with its octagonal brick turret with copper cupola. Interior with coved ceiling, simple C18 pulpit and painted early C19 Royal Arms. The Church of the Ascension, Hall Green - Heritage Gateway It may have also been called Job Marston's Chapel, but it is now a parish church. Marston left £1000 for this 'handsome and durable chapel'. Designed by Sir William Wilson of Sutton Coldfield and built by William and Francis Smith. Dated 1703 in a plaque over the west door carved by Wilson. Transepts and chancel added in 1860 by J G Bland, the builder then was Samuel Briggs. Above info from "Pevsner Architectural Guides: Birmingham by Andy Foster" That bus stop used to be for the 41. Which Travel West Midlands / National Express West Midlands cancelled. Our local politicans are angry that a vital route has been removed. From there you could get the bus to the Hall Green Health Centre. The other way was to Solihull. I read that one of our local MPs (John Hemming, Lib Dem for Yardley) brought it up at Prime Ministers Question Time this week. In the old days I could get the 41 to Birmingham City Centre. But they kept messing with the route, cutting it to here. AMPM Travel may have a route on here soon. Being that it was every 20 minutes, I found it to be unreliable in the last few years, and I keep going for the 6. |
