To the above total of L228,336 expended on churches in or close to the
borough, there should be added L57,640 expended in the erection, &c., of
churches close at hand in the adjoining diocese of Lichfield; L25,000
laid out at Coleshill, Northfield, and Solihull (the principal residents
being from Birmingham); and a still further sum of L150,000 spent on
Church-school buildings. These figures even do not include the vast
amounts invested for the endowments of the several churches and schools,
nor is aught reckoned for the value of the land or building materials
where given, nor for the ornamental decorations, fonts
