Description
The Church of St Barnabas is a parish church built in 1844 in a neo-Norman style by architect Ferrey. It features an extended chancel and a vestry added in 1863, along with a north aisle tower and west windows completed in 1876. The church is constructed from coursed flintwork with stone dressings, showcasing a plinth, main flat buttresses, a cill band, intermediate flat buttresses, a corbel table, round-arched openings, and impost bands. The chancel is apsidal and does not have buttresses. The west windows consist of triple lancets in the nave and triple lancets with plate tracery and roundels in the south aisle. The tower is simple, featuring thin lancets, a timber-framed arcade at the bell stage, and a pyramid-shaped spire covered in shingles. It serves as a north porch with a pointed arched entrance and includes a half-octagonal staircase on the east face. Inside, the church is plain and contains Victorian fittings, such as a square font supported by pillars and an elaborate octagonal pulpit made of coloured marble.
