Holy Rood Church, Barnsley, Roman Catholic church in Barnsley, England
The Holy Rood Church stands at the intersection of Castlereagh Street and George Street, featuring a square tower that transforms into an octagonal shape with gargoyles.
The parish origins date to 1800 when forty Catholics led by William Rigby gathered with Father Vincent Louis Dennis to establish religious services in Barnsley.
The interior contains marble sculptures of a Pietà and Saint Patrick, along with stone sculptures of Saint Michael and Saint Anthony displaying religious artistry.
The church holds Sunday services at 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM, with additional masses scheduled on Wednesday and Friday mornings at 10:00 AM.
The Welsh slate roof and Gothic Revival architecture earned the church Grade II listed status in 1986, protecting its structural features for future generations.
