The only time I have visited Castle Bromwich Hall must have been in early 1960's. At that time it was a residential centre for GEC apprentices. Various apprentice associations from around the city got together to discuss arranging a pop concert in Birmingham town hall.

Disraeli also was a guest seeking “quietude” in the 1870s.

The church is on what called pimple hill. Over looks the Island where you get on to the M6 Junction 5
