Cemeteries

We believe the Church does NOT have a graveyard.

Note: any church within an urban environment may have had its graveyard closed after the Burial Act of 1853. Any new church built after that is unlikely to have had a graveyard at all.

Church History

This Place of Worship was founded in 1886, and we understand it is still open.

According to Derbyshire Record Office's catalogue of Church of England Registers, St Barnabas's parish was formed from the parish of St John in 1886. Its address is described as "New Zealand". Kelly's Directory of 1895 says the church was built in 1885-6, and contains "a very remarkable and unique cruciform font, brought from West Hallam Hall, and said by tradition to have been used for the secret baptism of Romanists in the neighbourhood of West Hallam by the celebrated Jesuit, Father Edmund Campion, executed at Tyburn, 1 Dec 1582; it does not appear to be of Derbyshire stone, and as there is no similar font in England it was probably introduced by one of the missionary priests from the continent, English fonts being at that period closed to Romanists".

Denomination

Now or formerly Church of England.

If more than one congregation has worshipped here, or its congregation has united with others, in most cases this will record its original dedication.
