There appear to be several mentions of the church in the newspapers after the war. Also a different site suggests that there are church records available up until 1955.

If it was bombed and survived or rebuilt I don't know. There are war dead in Balsall Heath listed for that date.

So grateful never seen this. It was said that ours was a landline. I remember the Warden carrying my brother from the collapsed Anderson and running as well as we could across Calthorpe Park to the Public Shelter after the bomb.
