1 St Barnabas Church Browning Road, Manor Park London E12 6PB Priest-in-charge: the Revd. James Ramsay National Grid ref TQ Local Authority: London Borough of Newham I STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE September 2008 General Description Designed by Sir Ninian Comper in partnership with William Bucknall, and built in the first decade of the twentieth century to serve the new residential neighbourhood of Manor Park, St Barnabas Church is a Grade II listed building of red brick with stone copings and window tracery. A hidden gem, with slightly wild yet well tended front garden leading to a triple-gabled west front, it makes an unexpected break from the surrounding rows of terraced houses. The interior, much bigger than one would anticipate from the exterior, is a joy: clear perpendicular-style windows and measured arches in the nave give a sense of lightness, high wide aisles offer the spaciousness of a hall-church, while a long chancel leads the eye horizontally to a broad, simply designed east window, in the centre of which is a stained glass light designed by Comper, depicting Christ in glory. Installed only in 1954 (and incorporating Comper's "trademark" strawberry motif in the bottom right hand corner), this window complements the architectural unity of the church. Either side of the east window, two characteristic "Comper angel" candle sconces add a touch of richness to the sanctuary area. To the north of the chancel, and separated from it by an oak parclose screen, is a Lady Chapel with a stone memorial to those from the parish who lost their lives in the war - a soberingly long list of names, plainly yet elegantly inscribed. To the south of the chancel is the organ loft (the present organ came from the nearby church of St. Michael and All Angels when a new church and community centre were built in 1989). The organ loft panelling was installed in 1951 as a memorial to 1
2 parishioners who died in the war. Beneath the organ loft is the sacristy, and beyond that, with its own door leading into the chancel, the choir vestry: a pleasing room with boat-shaped wooden ceiling and mullioned, diamond-paned windows. The church was re-ordered in the 1970s, with the sanctuary being partitioned off by a temporary screen, and the altar sited at the east end of the nave (at the same time a kitchen and toilets were installed in the north-west corner of the nave). The re-ordering of the sanctuary did not involve any permanent alterations - the original oak communion rails, choir stalls, and eagle lectern are still in situ. The octagonal stone font has an attractive cover of wood and wrought iron. Door handles and locks throughout the building are distinctively designed. Of note finally are the pulpit and the bell (in a bellcote above the south aisle roof) - the former dating from the 17th century, rescued from a church at Rayleigh when undergoing modernisation; the latter dated 1596, salvaged in 1932 from the debris of Markshall church, Coggeshall. Current State of Repair The building is in viable working condition, but to prevent major deterioration extensive structural and decorative maintenance is urgently needed. Community Facility In the 1970s, with the demographic profile of the parish changing, the church hall was sold, and became a Sikh gurdwara. Since then the west 2
3 end of the church has doubled as a church hall for social and community use. The building is in use every day of the week, hosting a full-time registered Pre-School, a karate club, Indian dance classes, classical Indian violin tuition, and local band, as well as the church's own singing group and fellowship club. The largest public space in the locality, with good acoustics and comfortably seating 300, St. Barnabas is also used for charity fairs and jazz concerts, as well as weddings, funerals, commemorations and public events. The commemorative benches in the front garden are well used by members of the public when weather permits. Multifaith Context St Barnabas Church is valued by people of different faiths as a witness for Christianity in a multifaith setting. This role, as a sign of the continued presence and engagement of the national church in the area, should not be underestimated: as the parish church, it provides a place of "common property" amid the diversity of faith communities (and Christian groups of diverse persuasions). The light interior creates spiritual space that does not impose a strongly acculturated Christianity. Participating in networks such as the Newham Association of Faiths, the Faithful Friends project, Bridge Builders in Unity, and the Contextual Theology Centre, it has the potential to make a significant contribution to interfaith work. Arts and Music St Barnabas Church has had a long association with local arts and music, having for many years been the base for an art club and a Newham Festival of the Arts venue. Current use of the premises by music and dance groups continues this tradition, with a new community textiles project and Manor Park Community Music Project also being based here. Small exhibitions of art work indicate that the under-used east end of the church could make a successful exhibition and meeting area. Ecological significance Most front gardens and many back gardens in the area have been paved, thus reducing the amount of green space, and making the church site all the more valuable as a wildlife habitat. Local residents and passers-by 3
4 (the church is on a bus route) appreciate the garden as a "little oasis". The church is surrounded to the north, east, and south by a narrow curtilage of land, with flying buttresses along the side walls: this has the potential to be made most attractive. The front garden also has an area set aside for interment of Ashes, with a simple oak beam for memorial plaques. The flowering thorn has a tree preservation order, and a number of new shrubs have recently been planted. Significance to the Built Environment St Barnabas is a fine example of an unfashionable yet important style of architecture. Many of Newham's neo-gothic churches have been either demolished or substantially altered internally, and characterful secular buildings (e.g. pubs) of the same era have also disappeared. Thus, from the architectural point of view, the church is important both as a sign of continuity and as a reminder of diversity and craftsmanship in streets that show a combination of neglect, functionalist modernisation and uniform new "features". Entering the building creates what one local resident calls a Tardis effect, the interior being so much more impressive than suggested by the unostentatious facade. It has an aesthetic and spiritual appeal to all, and comments on the beauty of the interior in particular are frequent. Commitment to the Future Over the years the church has responded to changes and needs within the community. There is now a need for a more proactive strategic review of mission priorities and opportunities. Some initial prayer and thinking has been undertaken, and further events and an away-day are planned, such that the PCC is able to affirm confidence in the future, as expressed above, and the desire to move to action. This has coincided with the retirement of our church architect, and the appointment of a new Architect, Roderick Maclennan, who shares the vision of maintaining and re-evidencing the beauty of the building, while at the same time adapting it for optimum use in the present context. It is proposed to undertake a feasibility study, incorporating a number of participatory community events, to develop a strategy for addressing the mission and maintenance needs of the church through appropriate building work and sustained development of activities that meet local needs and create opportunities for local people. 4
5 Drumming event at St. Barnabas church II STATEMENT OF NEEDS Demographic Context In the last census the religious profile of the population of the parish emerged at 43% Muslim, with large Hindu and significant Sikh communities. 22% of electors declared themselves Christian. However, most members of this Christian minority are originally from Africa or the Indian sub-continent, and increasingly now also from Eastern Europe, and meet for worship in denominational fellowships other than traditional CofE (e.g. Roman Catholic, Pentecostal, Mar Thoma). Nevertheless St. Barnabas has a broad-based, committed congregation, most of whom live within walking distance of the church. Sunday worship attracts an average congregation of 40+, and there is demand for pastoral offices. Thus, with the important points also made in the 'Statement of Significance' regarding the community and interfaith role of the church, there is a solid basis for investing resources to ensure that St. Barnabas remains open and active as a parish church. Immediate Structural Needs of the Building The church has just had its quinquennial inspection, which confirms that some structural work is required immediately, and extensive further work very soon, as well as making good and decoration. The roof and copings 5
6 need attention. Significant repairs to external brickwork and guttering are long overdue, and the stone flooring at the east end is deteriorating. Further work already identified as being required: removal of redundant piping and radiators, and installation of cupboards for the Pre-School equipment (already underway); re-wiring; redecoration of the sacristy and vestry. The stone cross at the apex of the centre west gable is half broken and needs replacing. Numerous broken windows have recently been repaired, but more work is needed on the windows. Necessary development work includes reordering of the kitchen and toilets. Community Needs Although the building is busy seven days a week, it is not well adapted for use by more than one group at a time, because of restricted access to toilets/kitchen and the problem of sound (the church being a single open space). We have thus not been able to pursue possibilities of further use of the building for educational and drop-in purposes (requests received from Trinity Community Centre, Bridge Builders, and mental health services, as well as from other Christian and non-faith-based groups), and the potential of the total space is not being realised. We need to explore how the building might be adapted for greater use, while retaining its distinctive qualities and appeal. Responding to the opportunities that may be identified through this process will be a major challenge, given the current financial resources of the church. Accessibility The body of the church is at ground level, so access is easy for all (there are steps into the former sanctuary area, and disabled access would have to be built into any plans for this area). However, disabled toilet facilities are needed. Regeneration Over the next few years St Barnabas Church could once again see major changes to the local and wider area, situated as we are, in close proximity to the Olympic site and Thames Gateway project. It is vital that areas like our parish are not left out of major projects that will have such an impact on the lives of Londoners but could leave pockets of deprivation and neglect. St Barnabas is ideally placed to provide a focus for a considered regeneration. 6
7 Environment The line of flying buttresses on the north side of the church, and the area at the east end need imaginative enhancement and maintenance to fulfil their potential as useful and attractive spaces. Aspects of the front garden (e.g. the old railings and disused parking space) need improving. Litter bins of an appropriate design need to be placed beside the benches. It may be that a cleaner/caretaker will need to be appointed, especially if use of the building increases. Needs of the Church Community The core identity of the building as a place of Christian worship and witness needs to be affirmed in a way that is both visible, intrinsic to the overall character of the premises, and genuinely welcoming. The damaged cross on the west front needs to be restored. Internal ordering will need to resolve our current problem of having to re-position pews and other furniture for Sunday services. All who have a care for the church will need to be committed in prayer and active engagement in order that the necessary planning and work may "bear fruit richly" to the glory of God.
