Our Lady Help of Christians Church, Tile Cross

Our Lady Help of Christians is a Grade II* listed[1][2] Catholic church in Tile Cross, Birmingham.

It has a subtly polygonal T-shaped plan which allows a forward altar surrounded by the congregation.

Above the altar the roof is partly formed by extraordinary curved serrated ribbed trusses of reinforced concrete, faced externally with copper cladding.

The church demonstrates many of the ideas enshrined in De Sacra Liturgia of 1963 and the Catholic Church's pronouncements on forward altars and centralised planning made in 1964, but it is no mere auditorium of worship; every element is carefully conceived, demonstrating and integration of architecture, engineering and stained glass art.

[3] The church has a Rowntree & Brennan II Box Organ dating from 1975.
