Overview
Churches of Britain and Ireland records the building as originally Wesleyan Methodist, still named Hall Green Methodist Church as recently as 2014, and renamed after a merger with Sparkhill United Church (Moravian and United Reformed) by 2015. The same source dates the Methodist church to 1924 and gives the grid SP 104 825. The building is not the listed Church of the Ascension on School Road.
Manalo and White Architects later refurbished the church and community centre to improve accessibility, rearrange circulation and create office space. The congregation's own site gives the address as 609 Reddings Lane, Birmingham B28 8TE. No Historic England listing for this building has been found, and the original 1924 architect is not named in the sources consulted.
