Description
The Church of St Barnabas and St Nicholas is a church that likely dates back to the 13th century, with significant rebuilding occurring in 1693 and further alterations in the mid-19th century. It is constructed from limestone ashlar, featuring a plinth, quoins, and coped gables, topped with a concrete tile roof. The church consists of a chancel with a north vestry, a nave, and a north-west bell turret.
The chancel has two bays and includes a 19th-century three-light window in the Early English style, which has plate tracery and a hood mould with carved label stops. Below this window is a string course with carved labels at each end. The north vestry features a plank door with a chamfered, shouldered arch, and to the east, there is a two-light chamfered window with shouldered-arch heads. The south side has two 19th-century lancet windows with chamfered surrounds.
The nave, which has three bays, includes a 19th-century gabled porch with a pointed arch doorway that has Early English style shafts and capitals within a double chamfered surround. There is also a 19th-century pointed arch doorway with a double chamfered surround and a plank door. The north and south sides of the nave have single and paired lancets with chamfered surrounds. The north-west bell turret, built in the 19th century, has two stages with offset angle buttresses. It features a plank door within a chamfered, round shouldered arch, and above this, there are small single-chamfered lights on the first and second stages.
Inside, the chancel has an Early English style cusped piscina with a moulded surround in the north wall. The chancel arch is pointed and chamfered, dating from the 13th century, and includes two possibly re-used corbels, one with a trumpet-scalloped capital and the other with a stylized foliage capital. There is a 19th-century west gallery, along with 19th-century corbels and roofs. The font may be medieval but has been re-worked, and there is a 19th-century Pre-Raphaelite crucifixion panel in the north nave window.
