St Mary And St Margaret's Church, Castle Bromwich
St Mary and St Margaret Church, Castle Bromwich is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England in Castle Bromwich, Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, England. History A small wooden Norman chapel was known on the site before 1175, probably built for one of the de Bromwich family. The chapel was remade of stone in the 12th century, possibly earlier. In the 15th century the Norman chapel had a large half-timbered structure and wooden tower added to the west end, probably by a member of the Devereux family. The present church was extensively altered between 1726 and 1731 by Sir John Bridgeman II to give an English Renaissance, neo-classical, style. The new brick tower was built first in 1725, a little way away from the existing main church. The Hall and Church were then rebuilt using bricks made of local Castle Bromwich clay, fired close by. It is thought that the architect was Thomas White of Worcester. The old timber church was now encased in brick and plaster. The m ...

In many English villages the church is a prominent landmark and its tower is often the tallest structure in the settlement.
