Church Of St Barnabas

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.
