Description
The Church of St Barnabas is a Grade II listed building located on Church Lane in Horton cum Studley. It was designed by William Butterfield and constructed in 1867. The church is built in a Gothic-revival style using polychrome brick with limestone-ashlar dressings and features a plain-tile roof. The structure includes a nave, a north aisle, a chancel, and a south porch.
The short chancel has three trefoil-headed lancet windows on the east side, three grouped lancets on the north side, and a small hipped-roofed vestry on the south side with narrow windows that have shouldered arches. The nave features two paired lancets under hood moulds on the south side, along with a single lancet near the porch. The porch has a pointed segmental outer arch with two chamfered orders. The central section of the nave's west wall projects forward to accommodate a three-light window with early-Decorated tracery, topped by a buttressed and gabled double bellcote with two shouldered arches. The narrow north aisle has a sexfoil window to the east and a small lancet to the west, with the nave roof extending over it.
All walls are constructed of yellow stock brick, accented with light-red and flared brick banding, and feature diapering in the upper sections. The gables of the porch and bellcote, as well as the spandrels of the east window, display patterned unbonded work.
Inside, the chancel walls are adorned with polychrome interlacing diapering, and the north window is flanked by detached Purbeck-marble shafts. The responds of the brick chancel arch are likely made of slate. The sanctuary bay has a seven-canted roof that is panelled. The nave exhibits wall patterning similar to the exterior and includes a four-bay wooden north arcade with solid spandrels that rise to an arcade plate, supported by arch-braced collar trusses. The church contains 19th-century fittings, including a font and reredos, as well as contemporary stained glass in the chancel and stained glass from around 1893 in the south windows of the nave.
