Description
The Church of St Barnabas is a church built between 1900 and 1914, designed by J. F. Doyle. It is constructed of brick with random terracotta blocks and stone dressings, topped with a slate roof. The church features a nave with aisles beneath lean-to roofs, a west tower, transepts, a chancel, and a south chapel. The four-bay nave has four-centred heads to the three-light clerestory windows and architraves to the three-light aisle windows. The tower includes angle buttresses with canted inner angles, a west entrance, a three-light west window, and paired bell openings with tracery quatrefoils and louvres above. It is adorned with a cornice and an arcaded embattled parapet. There are two south porches featuring embattled parapets, segmental-headed doors with pointed fanlights, and carvings in the spandrels. The transepts have five-light windows, while the chancel has a five-light window and the chapel has a three-light window. A vestry is located at the northeast gable, with windows of two and three lights.
Inside, the church is stone-faced, with a five-bay nave arcade that features angels carved in the spandrels. The wall piers support an arch-braced collar roof, and there is a three-bay arcade between the chancel and chapel. The interior also includes a canopied reredos and a north organ loft.
