 St Philip's Cathedral
16.4.05 by Galahad
Burne-Jones was born in Bennett's Hill close by and was responsible for the design of the windows that are beneath the tower.
I think this is the oldest building in the city centre. Leave a Comment Address: Colmore Row

There has been a church on the site since 1166, when the first was established by Peter de Bermingham - this is the place where Birmingham began. Although no records exist from that time, it is belived a simple place of worship was likely to be situated. However, the first records noting a church date to around 1290. That church was built by William, a descendent of Peter.
Most of the 1290 church was demolishedtp make way for the present building which was built in 1873. It was designed by Alfred Chatwin a Birminham Architect. The interior of the church was refurbished in 2000, with the exterior beingcleaned and restored in 2003. The new centre was built at the same time and it houses a cafe, centre for health and healing, an arts centre and a training suite.

 St Philip's Cathedral by brummielaura
The cathedral was built in the early 18th century and is famous mainly for its glass windows by Edward Burne-Jones.
It is surrounded by a large square containing a number of smaller monuments.
The church square also seems to be the meeting point for local teenagers on the weekends. Leave a Comment Address: Colmore Row, Birmingham B3 2QBPhone: 0121 262 1840Directions: In the city centre. When you leave New Street Station through the Pallasades shopping centre, walk up the hill (Corporation Street) and then turn left - you will be able to see the cathedral from here.Website: http://www.birminghamcathedral.com
