St Barnabas Church, Oxford
St Barnabas Church is a Church of England parish church in Jericho, central Oxford, England, located close to Oxford Canal.
==History==
The parish was formed from that of St Paul, Oxford, in 1869; St Paul's was in turn formed from parts of the parishes of St Thomas and St Giles. The church was founded by Thomas Combe (1796–1872), Superintendent of the Oxford University Press close to the church, and his wife Martha〔(History ), St Barnabas Church.〕 (1806–1893), now commemorated by a blue plaque installed by the Oxfordshire Blue Plaques Board. They were followers of the Oxford Movement (or Tractarian movement). The architect was Sir Arthur Blomfield, a son of the Bishop of London, who had previously designed the chapel for the Radcliffe Infirmary. The first Parish Priest was Fr Montague Noel, SSC. The style is that of a Romanesque basilica. St Barnabas has a distinctive square tower, in the form of an Italianate campanile, that is visible from the surrounding area. The church was built on land donated by the local merchant and former Oxford mayor William Ward.〔(William Ward: Mayor of Oxford 1851/2 and 1861/2 ), (Mayors of Oxford ).〕 It was consecrated in 1869 by Bishop Wilberforce of Oxford and the campanile was completed in 1872. It has a ring of ten, distinctive, tubular bells, and the hours and quarters are sounded on them. Several histories of the church and/or parish have been written over the years (Arthur Tilney Bassett, Roger Dixey, Anne Abley and Richard Whitlock). St Barnabas also features in a wide range of literature, from Thomas Hardy through to PD James.
The poet John Betjeman wrote a poem about St Barnabas Church.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St Barnabas Church )〕
