The church was noted as being the place of worship of John Rogers, the first English Protestant martyr under Mary I.

The calvary which had been erected as a memorial for the First World War was moved to St Gabriel's Church, Weoley Castle.

Eight bells were cast in 1776 by Robert Wells of Aldbourne, Wiltshire.

They were removed and recast into a new ring which were installed in Bishop Latimer Memorial Church, Winson Green[2] and then were moved to St John's Church, Perry Barr in 1972.

In 1906 the church acquired an organ from St Martin in the Bull Ring which dated from 1822.
