Description
The church of St Barnabas in Pimlico, London, is a place of striking contrasts. Its impressive exterior belies an interior that is breathtakingly rich in decoration and elaboration, making it one of the most remarkable churches built in the 19th century.
Founded in 1847, the church has a complex history, marked by its Anglo-Catholic practices and its current dual role as home to both an Anglican parish and a Melkite community, part of the Greek Catholic Church. This comprehensive historical account explores the church's development and significance, offering a unique insight into its architecture, art, and spiritual heritage.
Published in 2019, this book provides a detailed and engaging exploration of St Barnabas Pimlico, making it an essential read for anyone interested in history, architecture, or the cultural heritage of London's churches.
