St. Andrew’s Parish Church. Bordesley. A parish formed in 1846, under the Act of Parliament designated Sir Robert Peel’s Act, and was the fifth church built by the Birmingham Church Building Society, formed for the erection of ten. The church was consecrated September 30th, 1846, and cost £3,500. It consists of a nave, (86 feet,) a chancel, (38 feet,) and a north aisle.

A vestry adjoins the chancel on the north and a porch on the south of the nave, added by the parishioners, who also added an organ at the cost of £260, a sweet-toned instrument, built by Banfield, it contains 18 stops and about 900 pipes. The gable has a fine light window at the west end, which with the bold tower and spire at the north west angle, has a pleasing effect. It is built of red sandstone, from a design by R. Carpenter, Esq., and is a correct specimen of the second pointed English architecture.

The living is a Perpetual Curacy of the value of £150 per annum, with the pew rents, and is in the alternate patronage of the Bishop of Worcester and five Trustees; the Bishop and the Vicar of Aston always to be two of those Trustees. The Rev. David Brown Moore, incumbent.
