Early Churches
The original main church of the Hamstead area was the iron mission church of St. Pauls which was on the corner of Hamstead Road and Spouthouse Lane . This small church was built in 1865 and was intended to last no longer than eleven years.

In 1890 is was decided to build a new church and it was replaced by the current St. Pauls in Walsall Road in 1892.
