MenuAcock's Green, Worcestershire
Acocks Green (or Acock's Green) is a village in Worcestershire which has grown to become a south-eastern suburb of Birmingham. It is named after the Acock family who built a large house in the area in 1370. The village grew after the coming of the Warwick and Birmingham Canal in the late 18th century and the Birmingham to Oxford Railway in 1852. It became part of the municipal area of Birmingham in 1911 after which it saw large-scale housing development. The church of St Mary the Virgin (1864) is in a Gothic Revival style. Acocks Green is within the council area of Birmingham.
