Quinton Area Guide

Location

Quinton is a ward in Birmingham, located five miles from Birmingham City Centre. Quinton borders the Birmingham suburbs of Harborne and Bartley Green. Quinton is home to the Church of England’s Christ Church, which holds the distinction of being the highest point of any building in Birmingham. Historically, before the church was built, Quinton was part of the ancient parish of Halesowen and was largely owned in medieval times by the wealthy Abbey at Lapal near Halesowen.

Although this area, including the Christ Church, dates back to the Victorian era, Quinton was formally removed from Worcestershire and incorporated into the county borough of Birmingham on the 9th of November, 1909.
