Cradley Heath - Religion

Religion

Although some have closed, Cradley Heath, like much of the Black Country, has many current and former church buildings. The main Anglican churches are St Luke's, Four-Ways, Cradley Heath, and Holy Trinity. The Grainger's Lane Methodist Church closed in 2004, but the building is still considered a landmark. A number of other Methodist buildings in the area, mostly around Old Hill, amalgamated to build a new building at Lawrence Lane. There is also a Wesleyan Reform Union Chapel, St James', relocated from Cradley Heath to Old Hill because of the bypass. The Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses can be found opposite the Holy Trinity Church in Old Hill.

Four-Ways Baptist Church is the only General Baptist church in Cradley Heath. The congregation rejected a proposal to close the building, and continues to meet. There are several Strict and Particular Baptist Churches, including Spring Meadow and Station Road, both in Old Hill.
