St Bartholomew's Church, Barbon, Gothic Revival church in Barbon, England
Description
St Bartholomew's Church is a stone Gothic Revival church featuring a four-bay nave, two-bay aisles, a south porch, a transept, and a tower positioned at the crossing. The tower includes louvred openings designed for the bells housed within.
History
The church was designed and built between 1892 and 1893 by the Lancaster architectural firm Sharpe, Paley and Austin. It was constructed as a replacement for an earlier building that could no longer serve the community's expanding needs.
Culture
The interior holds stained glass windows designed by Harrington Mann and created by Powell's workshop, alongside pieces by Shrigley and Hunt. These windows shape the visual experience as visitors move through the church.
Practical
The church belongs to the Kirkby Lonsdale Team Ministry and holds regular services with times listed in the Parish Notice Sheet. It is helpful to check opening times in advance, particularly if you want to see the interior.
Did you know?
The tower contains six bells cast by John Taylor of Loughborough and Eijsbouts, which remain in active use for bell ringing. This ringing tradition continues as a living practice within the community.
