ST JOHNS PARISH CHURCH			HANDSWORTH HERALD July 12 1890 ST JOHNS CHURCH In 1831, the first stone of a new church was laid by then representatives of the Gough-Calthorpe family. It was intended to serve as a place of worship for the tenants on the estate, for the labourers and villagers, who before that time had to walk over to Handsworth or Aston Church for service. To the church was assigned a district some seven miles long, and three or four miles broad in places. A vicarage house was built, and a comfortable endowment provided. The situation of the church is low. The river Tame, here a pellucid stream flows one hundred yards or so to the south by Perry bridge, one of the best specimens of long narrow bridges of the sixteenth century now remaining. It is nearly 150 yards long, with semi-circular arches and angular projects for foot passengers to take refuse in from the ancient road-wagon (zig zag bridge) which with ponderous wheels, and over-hanging loads, passed along the highway from Stafford or Lichfield. In 1725, it is said to be “standing upon a great water”. Formerly, the Tame valley was subject to frequent flooding, and owing to the inadequate system of drainage, the water did not pass off so quickly as it does now. The site of the church must have been under water after heavy rains. It is now high and dry enough. A thick grove of trees on the south, the home of a thriving colony of rooks, the proximity of the river, and the find park trees around, give a romantic air to the place, and the building is in keeping with the surroundings. The red sandstone of the district soon becomes moss grown and appears venerable. A doorway in the tower at the west and gives access to a somewhat plain Gothic structure, contrasting with the exterior bristling with crocheted pinnacles and numerous buttresses, the church is rather dark. On the south side a mortuary chapel of the Gough family adds much to the appearance of the church. The chancel is new. Here, as at Handsworth, Aston, Edgbaston, Moseley and other suburbs, we trace the hand of Mr Chatwin, and as usual he has designed something out of keeping with the original building. True the work is unfinished. A transept has yet to be added, but the exterior is so plain that it contrasts unfavourably with the, too ornamented style of the older work. The interior is more pleasing. We cannot leave the church without a glance at the monuments, may of them of great size and extremely elaborate. Besides the family tomb the Calthorpe’s, there is at the west end a lofty Gothic spire, marking the resting place of the Winfield’s, owners of the great manufactory in Cambridge Street. He who would attend service at the Parish Church of Perry must do in the morning or afternoon, for evening service there is none. Perhaps Perry is the only suburb within a short distance of the centre of Birmingham where the practice of closing the church on Sunday evenings prevails. Should anyone enquire the reason, he will be told that the gas pipes do not reach so far as Perry Church, hence the service cannot be held. Rather a lame excuse forsooth. Lamps are used in hundreds of country churches, and might be used here. We venture to think that there are other reasons. Firstly, Perry Church is very much in the country. There are not many houses at hand, while the two district churches are situated in populous neighbourhoods. Secondly, there are two pars to three churches, and since clergymen, like other people, cannot be in two places at once, it follows that one of the three churches must be closed on Sunday evenings. Thirdly, and lastly, Perry is an aristocratic place, almost the only suburb where the squire is resident in his ancestral mansion; where feudalism lingers despite the advance of the jerry-builder and all his myrmidons. Half a century ago, people rose earlier than they do now, and the parish priest of the old school delighted to finish his work before he dined, and the hour for Sunday dinner being 6.o.clock, evening service was not to be thought of. The squire too, naturally objected to lose his dinner for the sake of a service and so early services were the rule, and not a bad rule either. HANDSWORTH HERALD, December 31^st 1892. St. Johns Church, Perry Barr, was perhaps one of the finest in point of decoration in the Midlands on Sunday last. Numberless chrysanthemums were arranged in the sacred edifice, the Hon. A. C. G. Calthorpe having sent about two hundred plants of that class for the purpose of decoration. HANDSWORTH HERALD, December 31 1892 TEA MEETING AT PERRY BARR On Thursday evening the annual tea in connection with the Mothers’ Meeting of the Parish Church, Perry Barr, was held in the schoolroom, when about seventy sat down to an excellent tea. Afterwards a magic lantern entertainment was given by the Vicar, The Rev. G. H. Sharpe, and was very much enjoyed. North Birmingham News, 23^rd April 1892. St. JOHN’S, PERRY BARR The Rev. G. H. Sharpe, vicar of S. John’s, Perry Barr, presided over the annual vestry meeting in connection with this church, held on Monday. Mr. H. Hossell was re-elected vicar’s warden and Mr. George Barton, peoples, warden. Messrs. R. Tilsley and W. H. Wray were re-elected sidesmen. There is a tablet in the Belfry which has recorded unusual cases HANDSWORTH HERALD 23^rd September 1905 Sacrilege at Perry Barr Perry Barr Church was broken into on Friday. At 2.30 it was discovered that the vestry window had been broken and when it was found, there were also marks as if a jimmy had been used on the vestry door, no doubt was felt that someone had forced an entrance. An examination of the interior disclosed a scene of disorder. Three pairs of brass flower vases, bearing the letter “T.H.S” engraved upon them were found to be missing, as well as two pairs of scissors, used for trimming the alter candles. The Offertory box had been broken open, but it contained no money. Up to the present, no clue to the identity of the perpetrator has been discovered.

STEPHENSON			From: PAUL ROBERTS [mailto:paulgroberts65@btopenworld.com] Sent: Wed 3/17/2004 5:20 PM To: perrybarr1@blueyonder.co.uk Cc: Subject: Stephenson family Dear Sir I was born in Perry Barr in 1948 and adopted at 6 months old brought up in South Wales .After my adopted parents passed away I have tried to trace my birth fathers past I found my birth mother who lived locally she told me my father had died aged 35 . I have now traced his birth certificate and death certificate and found a cousin through the internet who sent me photo of my father in his army uniform also one taken with his mother. My father was one of eight children they lived at LISSON GROVE Kingstanding they were originally from the ladywood area the cousin that I found told me that all the family had all now passed away and my father was cremated at perry barr crematorium . If anybody has any recollections of my father or his family I am particularly interested in my fathers army record but I do not know what regiment he was in any information would greatly appreciated.
