The Church of St Barnabas is a Church of England parish church in Pimlico, London. It is a Grade I listed building. [1] The church is noted for its Anglo-Catholic tradition, and it "was the first church built in England where the ideals and beliefs of what came to be known as Anglo-Catholic movement were embodied in its architecture and liturgy". [2]
History
The church was built in 1847–1850 to designs of Thomas Cundy (junior), assisted by William Butterfield. It was one of the earliest Ritualistic churches, and the first in London in which all pews were free (charging for pews was normal practice at the time). [3] Three paintings in crypt are by Charles Edgar Buckeridge. [4]
In 1958 the church was designated as a Grade I listed building. [1]
