hich has been subscribed, the reopening taking place Sept. 28, 1878. There are several ancient monuments in fair preservation, and also Chantrey's celebrated statue of Watts. The living is valued at L1,500, the Rector, the Rev. W. Randall, M.A., being his own patron. The sittings in the church are (with a few exceptions only) all free and number over 1,000, Sunday and other services being also held in a Mission Room at Hamstead. _Holy Trinity_.--The first stone of the Church of the Holy Trinity in Camp Hill, was placed in position Sept. 29, 1820. The building was consecrated Jan. 23, 1823, and opened for services March 16 following. The cost was L14,325, and the number of sittings provided 1,500, half to be free. The services have from the first been markedly of a Ritualistic character, and the ornate decorations of the church have been therefore most appropriate. The living (value L230) is a vicarage in the gift of trustees, and is at present held by the Rev. A.H. Watts, who succeeded the Rev. R.W. Enraght after the latter's suspension and imprisonment.-- See "_Ritualism_." _Holy Trinity_, Birchfields.--First stone placed May 26, 1863; consecrated May 17, 1864. Cost about L5,000. The living (value L320) is a vicarage in the gift of the Rector of Handsworth, and is now held by the Rev. P.T. Maitland, who "read himself in" May 16, 1875. _Holy Trinity_, North Harborne, was built in 1838-39 at a cost of L3,750, and will seat 700, one half being free. The living (value L300) is in the gift of the Dean and Chapter of Lichfield. _Immanuel Church_, Broad Street.--The foundation stone was laid July 12, 1864; the consecration took place May 7, 1865; the cost of erection was a little over L4,000; there are seats for 800, of which 600 are free; and the living (valued at L300), has been held until now by the Rev. C.H. Coleman, the presentation being in the hands of trustees. The "Magdalen" Chapel was formerly on the site. _Iron Churches_.--May 22, 1874, an edifice built of iron was opened for religious purposes in Canon Hill Park, but the congregation that assembled were so scanty that in July, 1875, it was deemed expedient to remove it to Small Heath where it was used as a temporary "Oldknow Memorial" Church. Other iron churches have been utilised in the suburbs since then, and there is now no novelty in such erections, a score of which may be found within half the number of miles. _St. Agnes'_, Moseley, off Wake Green
