One of several churches damaged in the tornado that hit Birmingham in July 2005, Christ Church, Sparkbrook, was already being considered for closure. Permission was given to demolish on health and safety grounds - but as the bulldozers moved in in June 2006, the church was spot-listed. It was demolished in 2007.
