Bickenhill

[2][4] The descendants of Turchil, the Arden family, settled in the area and adopted the surname 'de Bickenhill,' though spelt differently.

In 1928, Marston Green became a separate ecclesiastical parish, and in 1932, part of Elmdon was added to Bickenhill.

A campaign urging Londoners to oppose the plan used posters with an image of a young footballer saying "One day I'll play at Bickenhill".

[5] Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council maintain a waste recycling centre in the parish.

[16] The centre of the village is a Conservation area, and in a response to the Planning Inspectorate in 2019 Solihull Council described its value as "High" and said that it "has a focal building in the grade 1 listed mediaeval parish church on locally high ground at the heart of a group of historic and other buildings typifying an English midlands village.

This includes the grade 2 listed Grange Farm and several buildings on the Local List of Heritage Assets, served by narrow sinuous lanes with enclosing banks and hedgerows, beyond which are many surviving fields and paddocks often representing an historic layout".

[17] Páirc na hÉireann, off Catherine de Barnes Lane, is the primary venue for Gaelic games in the West Midlands.

[18] It has three full-size Gaelic Athletic Association pitches with eight changing rooms, bar area and car-parking.
