The medieval parish church sits at the top of the high street and is the oldest significant building in Solihull. The interior has been well preserved and includes some good medieval features, though the building was substantially restored in Victorian times. The churchyard is one of the more pleasant spots in the town centre for a quiet sit.
St Alphege is still an active parish church; it is generally open during the day and entry is free. The surrounding streets — Poplar Road, Mill Lane — preserve some of the Victorian and Edwardian character that makes Solihull's centre feel more cohesive than most West Midlands towns of similar size.
