The Arley Colliery Company began mining coal locally in 1905. In the 1920s it built a company village of six hundred houses, called New Arley, and, in 1928, a company church to serve it, the Church of England parish church of St Michael. The style could perhaps be called colliers' baroque. See the Victoria County History of Warwickshire, Vol. 6 pp8-12, which doesn't give the name of the architect https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/warks/vol6/pp8-12 .
