Description

The Church of St. Barnabas is a parish church built in 1866 by G.B. Mussellwhite, designed in the Early English style to replace the demolished Norman church of St. Michael at the medieval site of Netherton. It is a single cell structure featuring a western tower and a south porch. The roof is covered with plain tiles, and the walls are constructed from coarse flints with stone dressings. The church has a mix of single and coupled windows, adorned with trefoils and quatrefoils above cusped lights, and a larger traceried east window. The exterior includes buttresses, bands, and a plinth. The tower consists of two main stages, topped with a crenellated parapet, and features coupled belly windows and diagonal stepped buttresses. The gabled porch has an arched opening. Inside, there are elements from the old church, including a Norman front with chevron ornament, an engraved brass panel framed in stone from 1624, two small 16th-century wall brasses, and wall monuments dated 1647, 1759, and 1802.
