[3] HistoryA temporary church was established as a mission of Holy Trinity Church, Bordesley in 1865, and a temporary church was opened on 13 September 1866.[4] The permanent church was designed by John Loughborough Pearson and built by the contractor Shillitoe of Doncaster.[5] Work started in 1880 and the church was opened in 1881. The formal consecration took place on 4 December 1899.[6] The construction cost was in the region of £20,000 (equivalent to £{{formatnum:{{Inflation|UK|20000|1891|r=0}}}} in {{Inflation-year|UK}}).{{Inflation-fn|UK|df=y}} The patron is Keble College, Oxford. St Alban's Church took over the parish of St Patrick's Church, Bordesley when St Patrick's was demolished in the early 1970s. Present daySt Alban's Church stands in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England. The parish had passed Resolutions A and B of the Priests (Ordination of Women) Measure 1993, meaning they rejected the ordination of women, but these expired in 2016.[7] They also voted on Alternative Episcopal Oversight, but this was rejected. In 2017, they voted on the replacement of Resolutions A and B, the Resolution under the House of Bishops' Declaration: "This was not carried, with equal votes for and against."[8] This means that the parish would now accept a woman priest. ArchitectureThe cruciform building is in red brick, with dressings in ashlar. The tower and spire were added in 1938 by Edwin Francis Reynolds. The interior features a stained glass east window by Henry Payne and, in the south chapel, a copper Arts and Crafts triptych with painted panels, by local artists Kate and Myra Bunce[9] and donated by them in 1919 in memory of their sisters and parents.[6] A Birmingham Civic Society blue plaque honouring the Bunce sisters was unveiled at St Alban's in September 2015, by the Lord Mayor of Birmingham.

OrganThe organ dates was installed second-hand in 1870 and was by Bryceson Son & Ellis. It was overhauled in 1940 by Rushworth and Dreaper of Liverpool who extended the compass to C and added electro-pneumatic action. The Pedal Trombone, Great Tuba and Swell 5-rank mixture were added at this date. A new oak organ case was created by Birmingham Sculptors Ltd and Craftinwood Ltd.[10] A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[11] See also
