This history is the story of how the church has grown and developed over the years. It is a marvellous story of God’s faithfulness, and at the same time a story of the love, commitment, devotion and hard work of many people, clergy and lay. It is a story that deserves to be recorded, and we hope you find it interesting.
Although the story of St Barnabas is a continuous whole, it is convenient to divide it into the periods covered by the different incumbents. Please click on any of the links below to start reading our church history.
