All Saints’ was the first church built in Birmingham after the Second World War. It is a striking design, elegant in its simplicity, named after the All Saints’ Church in Cooksey Road, Small Heath, which was completely destroyed by German bombs. It was moved from this location to Shard End due to a population migration out of the inner city and funded through money provided by the War Damage Commission. Following its construction between 1954 and 1955, it was consecrated on All Saints Day, 1 November 1955. Two days later, it was visited by Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh during a royal tour of Birmingham. The Queen is reported to have expressed her pleasure at the first achievement of the Diocesan Building Programme for the new estates.https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/historic-birmingham-church-protected-status-24036673https://historicengland.org.uk/whats-new/news/new-listings-celebrate-platinum-jubilee/https://c20society.org.uk/news/new-c20-listings-to-celebrate-the-platinum-jubilee
