Now defunct St Bartholomew's was built on the site of the Birmingham Masshouse. The church, which opened in 1749, was built of brick with stone dressings in a neo-classical style and was rectangular in plan. It is thought that the brothers, William and David Horne were the architects. The church had gabled ends, with an ornamental urn at each angle of the plain parapet. There were three pedimented doors at the west end; above the larger one in the centre was a small clock-tower surmounted by a cupola and weather-vane. The church was built to accommodate a congregation of 800. St Bartholomew's closed in 1937 and its small parish was split between those of St Philip, St. Martin, St. Gabriel and Bishop Ryder. In 1942 the building was badly damaged by a German bomb; it was demolished the following year. By 1961 the last vestiges of St Bartholomew's church had disappeared completely and the site was in use as a car park.
