In 1913 a hall here was dedicated as a mission of St Mary’s, Selly Oak. A conventional district was attached to it in 1915, and in 1926 a parish was assigned out of St Mary’s, Selly Oak, St Nicolas’s, Kings Norton, St Lawrence’s, Northfield and St Agnes’s, Moseley. Consecrated 1925. The parish was enlarged in 1933 by the addition of futher parts of St Mary’s and St Laurence’s. A mission room at Woodland Park was transferred from St Laurence’s to St Francis ‘s in 1929 , and remained in use until the Second World War.  Various parish records were deposited in the Birmingham City Archives by the church in Nov 2003. But did not include baptisms or marriages registers. The church still retains (as of 2008) baptisms from 1912 and marriages from 1918. Enquiries to the vicar. [Source Birmingham Archives]
