I found this on the web St David coe Bissel St Highgate 1865 Martin closed 1947
British history online staers:
65. ST. DAVID, Birmingham (Bissell St.), a red brick building with stone facings designed by a Mr. Martin in the Gothic style, consists of chancel, nave, transepts and tower with spire. It was consecrated in 1865 on a site given by John Nicholls. (fn. 82) A parish was assigned out of St. Luke's, Birmingham, in 1866. (fn. 83) The living has been a vicarage since 1868, in the gift of public trustees. (fn. 84) The church was closed in 1947 and put in the charge of the Vicar of St. Luke's. (fn. 85)
From: 'Religious History: Churches built since 1800', A History of the County of Warwick: Volume 7: The City of Birmingham (1964), pp. 379-396. URL: https://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=22976 Date accessed: 04 October 2009.
There was an earlier request on the forum for a picture of the church, but none came up, so presumably they are rare

Would it be normal for ordinary folk to get married there? It looks very grand? On the marriage entry it just says St Philip's Chruch and that is all, ie no specific address.
Are there any good books on the History of Birmingham?

As my family lived there throughout the 19thc and early part of 20thc until about 1930 that's the period I am particularly interested in. Especially photographs.
