Overview
The Victoria County History records a mission church of 1895, followed in 1913 by an iron church dedicated to St Edmund as a mission of St John's, Sparkhill. That iron building survives as a church hall and was consecrated in 1932. It was replaced in 1940 by a new church: a rectangular red-brick building by H W Hobbiss with a pantiled roof, round-headed openings, and a large north-west tower. A parish was assigned in 1931 from St John's Sparkhill, St Mary's Acock's Green, and St Christopher's Sparkhill.
The Church Heritage Record states that the present building is not listed. The living became a vicarage in 1940, in the gift of the Crown.
