History of St Martin's Church in the Bullring

The church dates back to at least the 13th century. The Guild of the Holy Cross was recorded as being responsible for the clock as early as 1547. The clock was next mentioned in 1613. In 1643 during the English Civil War, (according to legend), it is said that Prince Rupert fired three shots at the weathervane at St Martin's Church. The earliest clock makers arrived from London in 1667. By 1690, the church was dressed in brick by the church wardens. The spire was rebuilt in 1781 by John Cheshire and the church was demolished and rebuilt by the architect J. A. Chatwin in 1872, preserving the earlier tower and spire. It is a Grade II* listed building. It was the tallest building in Birmingham from 1855 to 1908 (when the Joseph Chamberlain Memorial Clock Tower was completed at the University of Birmingham).

Spiceal Street development

This development at the Bullring brought back the old name of Spiceal Street (lost after the 1960s Bull Ring was built). Constructed during 2011, it was open by Christmas 2011. Restaurants included: Chaophraya, Browns and Handmade Burger Co. There is also Nandos and Pizza Hut at the square level. Handmade Burger Co has since closed and will be replaced with Vietnamese Street Kitchen. There also used to be Jamie's Italian, but that too has closed down. They used to use the tables at the back of the building.

Tree Sculpture

The Tree Sculpture was made by Wolfgang Buttress using the reclaimed copper roof of the Spiral Cafe, which was removed ahead of the building of the restaurants at Spiceal Street. It is 44ft high and unveiled in late 2011.

Lost Structures of St Martin's Square

The following structures were removed in 2011 for the Spiceal Street development near St Martin's Square at the Bullring.

The Spiral Cafe was near the top of the steps at the Bullring from St Martin's Square. In it's later years it was occupied by Gloria Jean's Coffee.

Model of St Martin's Square

If you are visiting inside of St Martin's Church, you will find a model of what St Martin's Square was proposed to look like. The model was probably made in the year 2000. It shows the steps in the square that were there from 2003 to 2011. That area was replaced by the restaurants of Spiceal Street.

Events at St Martin's Square over the years

There has been a lot of events that have taken place at St Martin's Square over the years, from the visit of the Coca Cola Christmas Truck, to various promotions. As well as the Floral Trail, The Big Hoot in 2015 and The Big Sleuth in 2017. There was also little owls and bears inside of St Martin's Church in each trail period.

 

Coca Cola Christmas Truck

The Coca Cola Christmas Truck visited St Martin's Square at least twice, in December 2014 and December 2016 (it later returned to Eastside City Park in 2017 and 2018). Holidays are coming!

The Big Hoot Birmingham 2015

Trails of painted owls around Birmingham in the summer of 2015. It lasted for 10 weeks before being auctioned off for the Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity. There was one owl in front of St Martin's Church, while another was at the bottom of St Martin's Walk, and a third with a view of Selfridges behind it.

Christmas in St Martin's Square

Over the years there has been different Christmas Tree's outside of St Martin's Church. Sometimes the Fudge Bus has been down there, other years a carousel.

A traditional Christmas Tree could be found in St Martin's Square over the festive season of 2013. The lights behind were all lit up as well. Forever 21 occupied many of those retail spaces at the time.

In recent years the Bullring has reused an artificial Christmas Tree that they have placed outside of St Martin's Church in St Martin's Square. During the festive season of 2020 it was quiet, especially during the second lockdown. Most of the lights behind off as non essential retailers were closed, and some units were vacant.

Model of St Martin's Square at St Martin in the Bullring

Post image

I did not know that this model of St Martin's Square was inside of St Martin in the Bullring. After meeting King Charles I Return for the first time for coffee (Aka Daniel Williams) we headed into St Martin's Church for a quick look around. First thing I spotted was this model. I'd say it was made around 2000 for the Bullring that opened in 2003. Also shows Selfridges.

Model of St Martin's Square at St Martin in the Bullring





I did not know that this model of St Martin's Square was inside of St Martin in the Bullring. After meeting King Charles I Return for the first time for coffee (Aka Daniel Williams) we headed into St Martin's Church for a quick look around. First thing I spotted was this model. I'd say it was made around 2000 for the Bullring that opened in 2003. Also shows Selfridges.


In this post, first we will look at the model that I found inside of St Martin in the Bullring. Then comparison photos I took around St Martin's Square between Spring 2009 and early 2011 (before it all changed for the Spiceal Street development).

 

This model is between the exit from St Martin in the Bullring Cafe on the corridor to an entrance inside of the Church of St Martin. Didn't know it was there. Not even from a previous photo I took of the corridor to the cafe. I met King Charles I Return (aka Daniel Williams) on Friday 7th February 2020 for coffee. After that we popped into the church for a quick look around.

This view from Digbeth towards St Martin's Church with Selfridges on the right with the East Mall. The West Mall is to the left. The square as it was from 2003 until the 2011 Spiceal Street development added several new restaurants.

dndimg alt="St Martin's Square model" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Bullring St Martins Square model 2000 (1).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

It was in a glass dome, so bit hard to get views without reflections. Birds-eye view down on St Martin's Square. Used to be a stepped sitting area on the left. That is where Chaophraya Thai Restaurant is now. Hand Made Burger Co was later built to the left of Selfridges down the right hand side of the path down to the road.

dndimg alt="St Martin's Square model" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Bullring St Martins Square model 2000 (2).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

The view between St Martin's Church and Selfridges towards the main entrance to the Bullring. You can see the statue of Nelson in the middle.

dndimg alt="St Martin's Square model" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Bullring St Martins Square model 2000 (3).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

This is the view from the markets side of the Bullring. Which is close to where buses drop off passengers (buses do not pick up passengers from this stop).

dndimg alt="St Martin's Square model" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Bullring St Martins Square model 2000 (4).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Another view of the path into St Martin's Square. Those steps on the right is where Handmade Burger Co is now. Sadly the Birmingham based chain has closed down (including their Bullring and Brindleyplace restaurants).

dndimg alt="St Martin's Square model" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Bullring St Martins Square model 2000 (5).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

 

Now to compare the model to the real St Martin's Square from 2009 to early 2011 (before the Spiceal Street development got underway).

From the spring of 2009 when I started taking photos of Birmingham, that included the Bullring area. Got this view of St Martin's Church from near the steps during May 2009. The Three Cubes fountains were still there on the left. Little did I know that this area would all change about 2 years later.

dndimg alt="St Martin's Church" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/St Martin in the Bullring (May 2009).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

These views from Digbeth, look quite similar to the model. Taken in October 2009, on the first day that I ever took photos around Digbeth (and not the last). This view past the Bull Ring Tavern towards the crossing between St Martin's Church and Selfridges.

dndimg alt="St Martin's Church" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/St Martins Church from Digbeth (Oct 2009) (1).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

Digbeth ends here, then the Bullring starts on the other side of the lights. There is a really short section of road called St Martin's Lane between Moat Lane and Park Street. Usually the buses wait at the lights here.

dndimg alt="St Martin's Church" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/St Martins Church from Digbeth (Oct 2009) (2).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

This view from near the Bull Ring Open Markets on Moat Lane. There was bunting on the lampposts. A sign on the right pointed directions to Digbeth Temporary Coach Station, as National Express was having their old coach station rebuilt into Birmingham Coach Station (which opened at the end of 2009 by the then England Football Manager, Fabio Capello).

dndimg alt="St Martin's Church" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/St Martins Church from Digbeth (Oct 2009) (3).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

Some of my earliest photos of St Martin's Square from April 2009. This from the balcony not far from the statue of Horatio Nelson. This view towards Borders, the Three Cubes fountain sculpture and Gloria Jeans Coffee. Neither of those were on the model (the sculpture and coffee shop).

dndimg alt="St Martin's Square" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/St Martins Square (April 2009) (1).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

This view also from April 2009, looking up to the balcony with the statue of Nelson. The stepped seating area was on the left, next to that was the Three Cubes fountain sculpture. St Martin in the Bullring to the right (still there now of course).

dndimg alt="St Martin's Square" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/St Martins Square (April 2009) (2).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

On month on, now May 2009. The curved semi circle section of the West Mall above Borders, the Three Cubes fountain sculpture and Gloria Jeans Coffee.

dndimg alt="St Martin's Square" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/St Martins Square (May 2009) (1).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

At the time in May 2009, the stepped seating area was closed off. Perhaps for a deep clean. But they would be dug up 2 years later in 2011 for the Spiceal Street development. This view towards Selfridges.

dndimg alt="St Martin's Square" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/St Martins Square (May 2009) (2).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

Side view of Gloria Jean's Coffee. This cafe building would be open until the end of 2010 (and into January 2011). The metal panels were later recycled into the tree sculpture that is in St Martin's Square today.

dndimg alt="St Martin's Square" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/St Martins Square (May 2009) (3).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

Aware that the building occupied at the time by Gloria Jean's Coffee would be dismantled for the Spiceal Street development, I took these early evening shots around 5pm at the end of December 2010.

dndimg alt="Gloria Jean's Coffee" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Gloria Jeans Coffee St Martins Square Bullring (Dec 2010) (1).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

There was already some barriers around here, but people could still go up and down the steps. Oh and Forever 21 had opened up above Jamie's Italian by then (where Borders used to be until that closed down).

dndimg alt="Gloria Jean's Coffee" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Gloria Jeans Coffee St Martins Square Bullring (Dec 2010) (2).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

A few days later and a couple of days into the new year of 2011. So now January 2011 for some last daylight shots of this building before they took it down.

dndimg alt="Gloria Jean's Coffee" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Gloria Jeans Coffee St Martins Square Bullring (Jan 2011) (1).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

There was a planning application here from Birmingham City Council detailing the plans for what was going to happen at Spiceal Street.

dndimg alt="Gloria Jean's Coffee" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Gloria Jeans Coffee St Martins Square Bullring (Jan 2011) (2).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

I did not go in. I didn't really start to go to coffee shops until 2012, starting off with Costa Coffee. Before trying Caffe Nero and Starbucks in 2014. I also discovered Coffee#1 in 2015 in South Wales before they opened some stores in the West Midlands.

dndimg alt="Gloria Jean's Coffee" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Gloria Jeans Coffee St Martins Square Bullring (Jan 2011) (3).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

In August 2009 a view from the upper balcony near Selfridges towards Digbeth. At this point in time, I had yet to have a photo walk around Digbeth. I didn't start to do that until October 2009. The steps below on the left, were demolished in 2009, and this is where Handmade Burger Co was built. The model of St Martin's Square shows tables and chairs outside of Selfridges on the lower balcony. There used to be a Starbucks in Selfridges at this corner (that has now gone).

dndimg alt="St Martin's Square" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/St Martins Square Bullring Digbeth (August 2009).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

A nice sunny view heading into St Martin's Square during August 2009. I had changed camera's by this point.

dndimg alt="St Martin's Square" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/St Martins Square (August 2009).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

This view of Selfridges from Digbeth during December 2009. They were selling (at the time) Real Christmas Trees at Selfridges. The steps were still there at the time (seen on the left).

dndimg alt="Selfridges" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/St Martins Square Bullring Selfridges (Dec 2009).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

St Martin's Square in late December 2010. Slightly blurry at about 5pm near the Christmas tree. This was a few months before the Spiceal Street development which took all of 2011 to complete adding several new restaurants, and new steps up to St Martin's Walk with a replacement water feature.

dndimg alt="St Martin's Square" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/St Martins Square Bullring (Dec 2010).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

The Three Cubes fountain sculpture seen during April 2009. Behind them was the former stepped seating area. Borders Books used to have many of the units there, including a Starbucks Coffee. That later became Jamies Italian and Forever 21 (which at one point had a Costa Coffee). Sadly both have recently closed down. But there is a Starbucks in the West Mall just as you enter the doors.

dndimg alt="Three Cubes" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Three Cubes fountain Bullring (April 2009).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

As you can see by December 2010, Jamie's Italian had moved in. They would last until 2018 (going into administration and closing down). The cubes were removed in early 2011 when construction of the Spiceal Street development started.

Birmingham's Hidden Spaces: A look around St Martin's Church (September 2015)

Post image

It was September 2015 and Birmingham Heritage Week. Mainly popped into St Martin's Church at the Bullring for The Big Hoot's Little Hoot, but also got these shots. May have also been to do with Birmingham's Hidden Spaces. The visit on the 12th September 2015. Stained glass windows, the Alabaster Tomb and more!

Birmingham's Hidden Spaces: A look around St Martin's Church (September 2015)





It was September 2015 and Birmingham Heritage Week. Mainly popped into St Martin's Church at the Bullring for The Big Hoot's Little Hoot, but also got these shots. May have also been to do with Birmingham's Hidden Spaces. The visit on the 12th September 2015. Stained glass windows, the Alabaster Tomb and more!


The main reason for this visit was at the time there was various small painted owls inside of St Martin's Church that were part of The Big Hoot's Little Hoot. The trail accompanying The Big Hoot Birmingham 2015 trail. July to September 2015. So this was before the owls were removed and auctioned off for charity.

Here though we will look around the church from the inside.

First look at a pair of stained glass windows. One of these was designed by Edward Burne-Jones and made by William Morris (the window in the south transept).

dndimg alt="St Martin's Church" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/St Martin in the Bullring interiors (Sept 2015) (1).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

The next stained glass window close to several memorials on the wall.

The walls around this stained glass window came out dark.

A bunch of pink flowers with a fan behind (elephant on it). Below is a weaved basket holding the flowers. With white flowers seen below.

dndimg alt="St Martin's Church" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/St Martin in the Bullring interiors (Sept 2015) (5A).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

This is The Alabaster Tomb.

dndimg alt="St Martin's Church" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/St Martin in the Bullring interiors (Sept 2015) (6).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

This is an effigy of Sir John de Bermingham, probably early 15th century. Sir John was a knight who fought in the wars of France from 1373 until his death in 1393. Close inspection of this tomb reveals tiny patches of ancient colouring on the sword belt and on the coat of mail.

WW1 war memorial (1914 - 1918). For the fallen of The Royal Warwickshire Regiment. either side was a pair of Little Hoot owls. Tawney on the left (by King Edward VI Five Ways School), and When I Grow Up on the right (by King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Boys).

dndimg alt="St Martin's Church" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/St Martin in the Bullring interiors (Sept 2015) (12).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

Plaque on the wall. On Wednesday 23rd March 1887 the St Martin's Society of Change Ringers rung the bells on the visit of Her Majesty Queen Victoria on the occasion of the laying of the foundation stone of the Victoria Law Courts (on Corporation Street). The Mayor of Birmingham at the time was Thomas Martineau.

dndimg alt="St Martin's Church" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/St Martin in the Bullring interiors (Sept 2015) (13).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

In this room was this centre table with lit candles. You can see that plaque behind.

dndimg alt="St Martin's Church" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/St Martin in the Bullring interiors (Sept 2015) (17).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

This leads to the churches cafe. Never been in myself. Was probably rebuilt in the early 2000s when the modern Bullring was built.
