St Barnabas' Church, Chester, Anglican church in Chester, England

Description

St Barnabas' Church is a brick building with stone trim situated on Sibell Street in Chester. Its interior contains a six-bay nave, a single-bay chancel, a north transept with eastern vestry, and an octagonal baptistry in the northwest corner topped by a spire, with a separate curate's house beside it featuring timber-framed front details.

History

The building was designed by architect John Douglas and completed in 1878 as a mission church to serve railway workers near Chester station. It was abandoned as a place of worship in 1987 and has since been converted to office use.

Culture

The building is Grade II listed, reflecting its value as part of the local heritage. Today it serves office functions rather than its original purpose, showing how Chester's religious landscape has shifted over time.

Practical

The building is located on Sibell Street in central Chester and now houses offices that are not open to the public. The exterior can be viewed from the street to observe the architectural details and the adjacent curate's house.

Did you know?

The structure combines brick with stone dressings in a way that reflects the building practices of its era. The adjacent curate's house displays timber-framed details on its front that set it apart from the main structure and nearby buildings.
