Church History
St David's Church, Shenley Green, is a parish church of the Church of England
located in Shenley Green, Birmingham.
​
Until 1970 services were held in the church hall, which was opened in 1962. In February 1969, twelve Birmingham Scouts hauled 3 stones from St David's Cathedral in Pembrokeshire to Shenley Green. The 200 mile journey took 56 hours with the scouts working in relay teams of 4 pulling a hand trek cart.
The stones were later included in the new church as foundation and consecration stones. The church was built between 1969 and 1970. It was consecrated on 9 May 1970 by Laurence Brown, Bishop of Birmingham.
It was designed by the architects of the Bournville Village Trust under the direction of Selby Clewer.
