Just before the lockdown, St Mary Barnes had fortunately started photographing the church scrapbooks which go back more than 40 years.  The scrapbooks were started in 1978 with the fire that devastated the church building. The books, which have been carefully compiled by members of the church, document the story from the aftermath of the fire, through it’s rebuilding to the present day.

To help deal with this period of being unable to come into church, they are going to feature some photos from one year per week at a time, on the History & Architecture page on the website and on social media.
