Fantastic pictures there Pedrocut! If I remember right (and I'm sure someone will tell me if I'm wrong!) - The New Church was not built on the site of the old church. The old Church was by the Library, at the junction of Field Lane and Genners Lane. The graveyard is still there, hidden behind a tall hedge. When the "New" centre for Bartley Green with its "Shopping Centre" was built about a half mile away, the new church was built there.

The old Church was demolished in 1968, it had been unused for some years and was "derelict". The New Church was opened in 1966.
