The Green has been the public centre of King's Norton for at least 500 Years. During most of that time the Manor of Kings Norton, extending from Rednal to Balsall Heath, was the property of the King. The 15th Century "Saracen's Head" (next to the churchyard) was once the house of the bailiff, who was responsible for administering justice in the Manor. In the graveyard surrounding the church stands a 15th century timber framed building, the 'Old Grammar School', Originally it may have stood on stilts, the ground floor being added in the 16th century. In the 17th century Thomas Hall was the headmaster. His library of books is one of the special collections preserved in Birmingham Central Library. The buildings were featured on BBC Restoration 2004.
