St Mary & All Saints, Walsall

St. Mary & All Saints’ Church in Dale Street, Palfrey was built in 1901 to 1902 designed by J. E. K. and J. P. Cutts of London. It replaced a former mission church built of corrugated iron in 1893 which became too small for the parishioners. The church is of red brick and consists of a chancel, a nave, a north chapel, a south chapel, an organ, and sacristy. The east window was added in 1926 as a war memorial. Due to falling attendances the Church closed for worship in 1999 and ceased as a Parish in 2002. It is now the Orthodox Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God.
