St Barnabas' Church, Morecambe, Gothic Revival church building in West End, Morecambe, England
St Barnabas' Church is a brick-built structure in West End, featuring Gothic Revival design with pointed arches and ribbed vaulting throughout its interior. The nave is divided into three bays supported by alternating columns of round and octagonal stone that create a distinctive rhythm as you walk through the space.
The church was designed and built by the architectural firm Sharpe, Paley and Austin between 1898 and 1900. It became a place of worship during a period of significant growth in the town and reflects the architectural confidence of that era.
The parish maintains an active Anglican congregation following the Catholic tradition of the Church of England with regular Sunday and Wednesday services.
The main entrance on Regent Road offers straightforward access to the building. It is best to check opening times beforehand or contact the parish, as access may depend on services or community events taking place.
The church is currently undergoing an ambitious restoration project to install a historic Father Willis organ from 1865 inside its walls. This planned addition will bring back instrumental music from an earlier period in the building's life.
