Description

The Church of St Barnabas was built between 1851 and 1853 and designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott for the Earl of Harewood, although it was executed by E H Shellard. The church is constructed from snecked gritstone and ashlar, topped with a Westmorland slate roof. It features a cruciform plan with a nave consisting of three bays, shallow transepts, a central spire, and a two-bay chancel with a vestry located to the north-east. The church is designed in a High Gothic style.

The south porch includes a cinquefoil-headed arch with a dripmould, and there is a three-light Decorated window on the east side. The tall broach spire adds to the church's striking appearance. Inside, the tower crossing is supported by two-bay arcades with low pointed arches and a clerestory above. The chancel arch is adorned with clustered columns featuring roll and fillet mouldings. The chancel has a wooden barrel vault painted in red and blue, decorated with gold stars. The reredos and sanctuary floor are embellished with polychrome glazed tiles. Near the south door, there is a font topped with a tall, wooden, open-work cover, along with elaborate brass candelabra and wall brackets.
