Church Of St Barnabas

The Church of St Barnabas is a parish church built in 1885 by the architectural firm Austin & Paley for the London and North Western Railway. It is constructed of brown brick with a red tile roof and features a three-bay nave and a single-bay chancel. The building has a projecting weathered plinth and a moulded sill band. The windows are made of terra cotta in the Perpendicular style, complete with hood moulds and leaded lights. The nave windows are set under gables with apex timber framing, while the large east chancel window contains stained glass dating from 1901. The door openings are flat-headed and also made of terra cotta.

Inside, the church has spacious side aisles created by a treble arcade of moulded terra cotta supported by sandstone piers without caps. The chancel, which is the same width as the nave between the piers, is fronted by a "U" shaped open timber screen featuring turned posts and spandrel tracery that encloses the choir. The carved reredos has an elaborate cornice with brattishing and is flanked by high-level panelling that bears memorial inscriptions. A heavily carved gothic pulpit is positioned in front of the choir screen on the north side. The aisle walls have low panelling, and there is a glazed screen at the west nave entrance that forms a baptistery. The continuous ceiling over the chancel and nave features moulded timbers arranged in panels, with trusses supported by braced tie beams and three vertical posts each.
