The church that became a cathedral... For the town that became a city. Built in 1715 as the new parish church “on the hill”, St Philip’s is a rare and fine example of elegant English Baroque architecture. It is Grade 1 listed and one of the oldest buildings in the city still used for its original purpose. Fascinating both inside and out, the cathedral is home to some remarkable treasures (not leas

t the inspiring stained-glass windows designed by Edward Burne-Jones) and amazing stories, all set amongst the daily rhythm of people criss-crossing this unique part of the city. The Cathedral Church of St Philip Birmingham is a registered charity (1206485) in England and Wales. Our registered office address is Colmore Row, Birmingham, B3 2QB.

The Hope Cross

What do you hope for?
You are invited to write a hope,
for yourself or others,
on one of the prayer cards,
and tie it onto the Cross,
as a way of giving that hope to the One
who knows you,
and loves you,
and wants, with wisdom,
the best for you.
