St Barnabas' Church, Erdington

St. Barnabas' Church is a Church of England parish church in Erdington in the north of Birmingham, England. Background St Barnabas Church Centre is located on the High Street, in Erdington, Birmingham and is a Grade II listed building. The vicar is the Reverend Emma Sykes, inducted in May 2020. History The church was built as a chapel of ease between 1822–23 to a design by Thomas Rickman. The church was famous for its sixteen stained glass windows depicting scenes of the life of Jesus and stories from the scriptures, including the Raising of Lazarus, The Resurrection, The Good Samaritan and St Paul and St Barnabas, which were also designed by Thomas Rickman. It was consecrated on July 23, 1824. The church was built by the Commissioners at a cost of £5,000, (equivalent to £470,000 in 2025), £1,000 of which was collected through public donations. In 1858, a district chapelry was assigned to the church. In 1908 the parish founded a Mission Room in Stockland Green which in 1920 was dedicated to St Mark. A new church was built called St Mark's Church, Stockland Green and a parish assigned out of All Saints' Church, Gravelly Hill. Fire and rebuilding On the morning of 4 October 2007, the building was severely damaged by fire. Approximately 75 firefighters and 15 engines from West Midlands Fire Service attended the fire at 06:00 GMT. The roof and all but one of the stained glass windows were completely destroyed, though the clock and bell tower and walls remained intact. Bishop of Birmingham, David Urquhart, stated he was determined to rebuild the church. It is believed that the fire was caused by arsonists. Rebuilding of the church started in January 2011 and was completed in 2012. The building work was undertaken by Linfords who also performed the cleanup of the fire damage in late 2007 and early 2008. The building was re-dedicated in December 2012 by the Bishop of Birmingham. Tower bells St Barnabas has a ring of eight bells. Churchyard The churchyard contains scattered war graves of 66 service personnel, 29 of World War I and 37 of World War II. A Screen Wall memorial lists those buried in graves in the old ground that could not be individually marked.

It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Chester. History A church has been present on this site since at least the reign of Henry II when it was given by Robert de Bachepuz to the Knights Hospitallers of St John who had a preceptory here. It became a parish church during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The chancel was built in 1671 for Dean Bridgeman and the tower is dated 1744. By the 18th and early 19th centuries the church was in a poor condition. A limited restoration was carried out in 1871 by John Douglas, who performed a more substantial scheme in 1883. Architecture Exterior The church is built in red sandstone ashlar with a red tile roof. There is some medieval stone work in the north aisle.

Two lead down spouts are inscribed with the date 1744. The roof of the chancel is hammer beam and the ends of the hammers bear the arms of Dean Bridgeman. Interior In the church is an octagonal sandstone font with a lead bowl dated 1713. The stained glass in the east window of the chancel and the east window of the north aisle is by Kempe. In the tower is an early Georgian chest dated 1718. In the church are charity boards dated 1711, 1725 and 1848. A monument to a Mrs Wallis who died in 1848 is by T. and E. Gaffin and depicts an angel kneeling by an urn. The parish registers begin in 1572, with a gap between 1679 and 1681. The churchwardens' accounts begin in 1857. The single bell bears the date 1767 and was probably cast by Rudhall of Gloucester. The two-manual organ was built by Binns. External features The tower was formerly decorated with urns but these were considered to be dangerous and were removed in 1929. They are now placed outside the church at the foot of the tower. In the church yard is a sandstone sundial. It consists of a square base of two steps with a socket containing a slightly tapering octagonal shaft and a cap of buff sandstone. The base and the shaft were originally part of a cross dating from the early 15th century. The cap was added later together with a small square plate inscribed with the date 1705. The plate is now missing. The sundial is listed at Grade II, and is a scheduled monument. Also listed at Grade II are the gates of the churchyard, their overthrow and the gate piers. The churchyard also contains the war graves of four soldiers of World War I.

St Bartholomew's Church, Lostwithiel

St Bartholomew's Church is a parish church of the Church of England Diocese of Truro in Lostwithiel, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Background The earliest part of the church is the tower which dates from the 13th century. The spire was added in the early 14th century, and the rest of the church dates from the later 14th century. The spire has an octagonal screen around its foot, with former windows on four of its eight sides. Built of Pentewan stone, is the outstanding feature of this sizable town church. The north side has a St Catherine's Wheel. Unusually for a Cornish church there is a clerestory above the nave. There are some fine monuments of Georgian period and a brass of 1423. The east window of five lights is one of the most notable in Cornwall, of the same date as the spire. The early fourteenth century font is outstanding, with carved figures of a huntsman and hawk, a head with leaves sprouting from its mouth, an evil face, a wolf and hounds, and lions. The church was restored in 1878 and 1879 by a Lostwithiel firm of builders, Messrs Phelp and Brown. The architect for the work was Mr Clark of London. The exterior of the building was renovated, plaster ceiling removed and the interior was stripped of ″pew monstrosities″. An open-timbered roof of pitch pine was erected along with new floors and the new carvings was carried out by Harry Hems of Ecclesiastical Art Works, Exeter. The restoration cost £1,200 (equivalent to £128,900 in 2025), and the church was reopened on 29 May 1879 with a service by Archdeacon Hobhouse. In 1894 the organ was enlarged, and this required the construction of a new vestry for the clergy and choir in the north-west corner under the spire. This was designed by Edmund Sedding and built at a cost of £200 (equivalent to £22,500 in 2025). Organ The organ was built by Brewer of Truro c.1888, using pipes from an earlier manual organ by Alexander Buckingham in 1828. It has subsequently been restored by Osmonds of Taunton and, in 1992, by Lance Foy of Truro. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. Bells The tower contains a peal of 6 bells by Gillett & Johnston dating from 1924. Parish status The church is in a joint benefice with: Boconnoc Church St Brevita’s Church, Lanlivery St Cyricius and St Julietta's Church, St Veep St Mary the Virgin's Church, Braddock St Nectan’s Chapel, St Winnow St Winnow’s Church, St Winnow Churchyard In the churchyard is a grave of a member of the Hext family with a medieval lantern cross mounted on a modern shaft.
