Description of the Flag

The borough council flag is banner of arms, now displayed in the Holy Trinity Parish Church.

Following local government re-organisation, the Royal Borough of Sutton Coldfield flag was moved to be displayed on the North wall of the Vesey Chapel. In May 2018 the flag was moved to its new home in the tower.
