spire of St Martin's Church in the Bullring

The most ancient of churches in Birmingham, it has been a focal point in the market since the 12th century. The present building, with a stained glass window dates from 1875. It is Grade II* listed and has been refurished over the last 5 to 10 years.

St Martin's in the Bullring is Grade II* listed.

At least late C13 in origin and the mother church of Birmingham. Sandstone. Large with nave and aisles, new tower and spire. Repaired in late C17 and late C18. Tower and spire restored by P C Hardwick in 1835-5 and the rest of the church in 1873-5 demolished, rebuilt and enlarged by the addition of transepts and an extended east end under the direction of J A Chatwin. Restored, after bomb damage in 1956-7. Inside, 2 recumbent effigies of the C14 and one of circa 1400 in the north transept and a fourth of circa 1500 in the south chapel; also the south transept window designed by Edward Burne-Jones and made by Morris, 1875-80.
