According to Historic England, it is Pugin's "earliest surviving church design".

[3] After the English Reformation, during the penal years of recusancy, Catholics in Solihull would go to Baddesley Clinton to receive the sacraments.

In 1760, on the site of the current church, a chapel was built behind a house so that it was not visible from the street.

It was built by Mr Hugford Hassall, who was related to Margaret Kempson, the wife of Thomas Ferrers of Baddesley Clinton.

He also donated some of the furnishings, such as a triptych that hung behind the high altar, originally from Flanders.

In 1866, a window, by Hardman & Co., was put into place in the eastern wall of the church.

In 1932, a Lourdes grotto was made in the church garden, again designed by Elphege Pippet.

The presbytery, baptistry, and north wall were demolished to make space for it.
