St Barnabas Jericho

St Barnabas Church Oxford was opened for worship on 19 October 1869. It is the daughter church of St Paul’s Walton Street and St. Paul’s was in turn the daughter of St. Thomas the Martyr. The parish of St Paul was carved out of the parishes of St Thomas and St Giles, and the parish church in Walton Street, the finest Grecian church in Oxford, was consecrated in 1836. By the 1850s it had become renowned for its elaborate ritual and processions, and drew so many worshippers that another church was needed for Jericho.
