Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The church of Saint Barnabas began as a mission, Saint Luke's, run by the church of Saint Simon Zelotes from 1865 onwards. A district was assigned in 1870, taken from the parishes of Saint James the Less and Saint Simon Zelotes. The building was a former Baptist chapel, consecrated for Church of England use in 1870. After war damage it was rebuilt in 1956.
