Summary Description

The building was designed jointly by Frank Osborn of Osborn & Reading and Enoch Wood of Wood & Kendrick and consecrated in October 1890. It was built to be the new parish church of Langley as housing serving the industrial factories of Oldbury spread to this previously rural area, replacing Holy Trinity which became a chapel of ease until its demolition in 1968. St Michael's is designed in the Early English style, with lancets and plate tracery. It is economically designed and constructed of good materials, particularly the moulded and hand-cut bricks deployed in bands, and finely pointed. The proportions and massing are good, and the church takes full advantage of its open location.
