A small apsidal chancel by his son, Frank Loughborough Pearson (1864–1947), replaced a temporary iron east end in 1906/07.

The last service was held on 27 September 1964 and the church was demolished in 1966 and the parish merged with St Alban the Martyr, Birmingham.

The rood beam and two stained-glass windows were reinstalled at St Alban's.
