=The Christian Brethren= have a head place of worship at the Central Hall, Great Charles Street, and other meeting places in Green Lane (Small Heath), New John Street West, Camp Hill, and Icknield Port Road in the Borough, and four others in the outskirts. Several other religious bodies have only one or two places of worship, and among these may be named-- =The Bloomsbury Institution= Mission Hall, in Bloomsbury Street. =The Boatmen’s Hall= in Bridge Street (Broad Street). =The Catholic Apostolic Church=, in Summer Hill Terrace, a new church built by the congregation formerly assembling at what was called the Irvingite Church, in Newhall Street. =The Christadelphians=, who meet in the Temperance Hall, in Temple Street. =The Church of the Saviour=, in Edward Street (Parade), built in 1847 for Mr. George Dawson, M.A., on his leaving the Mount Zion (Baptists) Chapel (_q.v._). A free church, founded on the principle that common Christian worship and pursuit of religious truth, and not doctrinal agreement, are the true bases of Christian union. =The Jewish Synagogue=, in Blucher Street, top of Severn Street, was built in 1856, to supply the place of a smaller synagogue in Severn Street. It cost upwards of £8,000. =The New Church=, or Swedenborgians, had for their first chapel the one in Newhall Street (now occupied by the Baptists, _q.v._) then, in 1830, removed to a new chapel in Summer Lane, and subsequently, in 1875, to an elegant church, a little way over the Borough boundary, in Wretham Road (Soho Hill). =The Welsh Calvinistic Methodists=, who have a chapel in Granville Street (Bath Row), and another in Hockley Hill, just over the Borough boundary. =The Welsh Congregationalists= have a chapel in Wheeler Street. =Roman Catholics.=--There is no record of any Roman Catholic place of worship in Birmingham from the Reformation until the publication, by James the Second, of the illegal Declaration of Indulgence in 1687. In that year the foundation of a church and convent, dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene, was laid near the street still called Masshouse Lane, and probably on the site of the present Church of St. Bartholomew (_q.v._). It was scarcely built when it was pulled down at the Revolution of 1688. The priests (who were of the order of St. Francis) removed to a farm house in a lane near Harborne, the approach to which, at the top of Richmond Hill Road, Edgbaston, was known as Masshouse Lane. The first chapel in the town was the one dedicated to ST. PETER, in St. Peter’s Place, a little way out of Broad Street, built in 1786, and a burial ground and schools added and subsequently enlarged. The next was a chapel in Shadwell Street, built in 1809, and dedicated to St. Chad, which afterwards gave place to ST. CHAD’S CATHEDRAL, Bath Street, built after the designs of A. Welby Pugin at a cost of £60,000, and consecrated June 22, 1841.
