Flower Delivery to Marston Green with Clare Florist

Marston Green is one of the largest villages in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull in Birmingham. It has a population of about 5000.

Of course, Marston Green was not always a big village, but people lived in this area since ancient times. In the beginning, Marston Green was a tiny village located on a fertile agricultural land that was part of the estate of Coleshill. Back in these days, this village was called Merstone and it was mentioned in the Domesday Book.

Marston Green was a typical English village until the late 19^th century when the rapid growth of this region started. This is the period when the village became a suburban area where many homes were built. One of the main reasons why this area experienced rapid growth was the construction of the rail station. In the late 30s, the Birmingham Airport located just few miles away from Marston Green started with its work. This was another reason why the population in this village increased. During the Second World War, the Canadian troops used an airforce base in this area. The facilities were destroyed in the 1990s.

Marston Green was part of many different parishes throughout history, but today it is part of Bickenhill civil parish.

Things to see and do in Marston Green, Birmingham

St. Leonard’s’ Church

This is a relatively new church (compared to the other churches in this region). It was built in 1938 and it is located in Elmdon Road. The designers have used a typical basilica style for the church and you can easily recognize it because they’ve used tall red-brownish bricks as a material. It features tall arched windows, side aisles and chancel.  It is worth mentioning that there was an older chapel which was demolished due to certain circumstances, but there are many mementos from this old chapel used in St. Leonard’s church like the bell, a church bench and even a tablet where you can see the names of the people from this area that died during the First World War.
