We are delighted to report that our eagle has been recovered from a scrap metal dealer in the Black Country, thanks to a public-spirited informant. We have taken additional security measures, including a motion sensor on the eagle, to ensure the crime is not repeated.

We are saddened to report that the eagle has been stolen from our Victorian brass lectern. The theft occurred on the morning of 10th June by a solo man walking into church and removing it from the column, covering it in a blanket and walking out with it. @bbcmtd

Upgrading our CCTV cameras to 4000k & engraving the lectern with the church name are sad but necessary precautions to take, to avoid further incidents. We would like to thank all those who have worked to secure the return of the eagle, including the local community and @WMPolice

The lectern has been a feature of St Augustine's since its consecration in 1868. It has been reported to the police, but any help with its recovery would be greatly appreciated. @ITVCentral @BirminghamPress @birmingham_live @brumdispatch

As we approach the centenary of the end of the First World War, take time to remember that those who died were just ordinary men who went from their families and friends to fight for their country. Here are a few, who are recorded on the parish war memorial. Lest We Forget.
