Description
The Parish Church of St Barnabas, located on High Street in Erdington, was designed between 1822 and 1823 as a Gothic church by Thomas Rickman. The building features a slender west tower with angle buttresses and four bays of an aisleless nave, constructed from stone with a slate roof behind a battlemented parapet. It is designed in a Decorated style. Notable original elements include the doors to the tower and the west gallery, which is supported by a richly cusped and sub-cusped iron screen. In 1883, the chancel and transepts were added by J A Chatwin, with the fifth bay of the transepts canted to accommodate the change in width between the chancel and nave. The style of these additions is also Decorated. The church features a fairly consistent series of stained glass windows, two of which were made by Camm and Co of Smethwick.
