Description
The Church of St Barnabas is a church built in 1914, designed by architect H P Burke-Downing. It features brown brick with some stone dressings and has a steeply pitched red tiled roof that extends to the eaves. The church is designed in a simplified late Gothic style. It has a tall five-bay nave with the roof ridge running straight into the chancel, and it includes only a south aisle, as the north aisle was never constructed. There is no clerestory.
A narrow, slab-like bell tower rises over the east wall of the chancel, featuring paired openings and a saddleback roof, with a clock on the south face. The church has arched moulded entrances at the west, which is pointed, and at the south-west, which is round-headed, both lacking capitals. The south aisle has paired lancet windows between the buttresses. The east window consists of three lights, flanked by paired two-light windows with cusped 'Y' tracery. The west end features a pair of two-light 'Y' traceried windows separated by a stone statue of a saint, with powerful flanking buttresses supporting the projecting nave. The interior has not been inspected.
