O[rgan]. – Large; from Birmingham Music Hall. C[hoir]. – Ten boys and some ladies or gentlemen. [The congregation numbered] 1200 – The congregation was mostly of ladies. Many people are "out of town". […] M[iscellaneous]. – It is extreme Low Church on Sunday evenings. [...] A NOTE APPENDED from the Church Times dated 14/9/[18]77 [...] The Church, states the paper, "bears a close resemblance to a Pagan Temple, the interior heavy and undevotional. [...] The service was of the plainest, even the Psalms being read and the responses were led by the sonorous voice of the parish clerk! The organ is a fine instrument, but the singing performed by a few children in the west gallery was very poor." |
