The building is a striking central feature of the town of Oldbury, in Church Square, Birmingham Street, OLDBURY B69 4DY, and the tower (from which there is usually a flag flying) is visible from Sainsbury’s car park and from the Council House.
The whole building was brought up to date in 1992, forming separate offices at the West End while retaining the East End for worship and community use.
Built in 1840 to replace an earlier chapel it has notable C19 windows and tiling, memorials, including one from the First World War, and Oldbury’s mayoral chair (now redundant).
Entry to the worship area is through the glass porch at the East (lower) end of the building.
Recent improvements have included restoration of the pre-war railings, repair of the clock and flagpole and the installation of benches in the grounds. The replacement of the ringing mechanism for the eight bells in the tower is in hand.
