History of Wadsley Church

The first mention of a church for the Wadsley area was in 1751 when an agreement between William Burton, Lord of the Manor of Wadsley and Margaret Bamforth, Lady of the Manor of Owlerton was drawn up to build a chapel of ease within the parish of Ecclesfield. The agreement stated that the Church of St. Mary, Ecclesfield was too far distant for the ill or infirm to travel for divine service. However nothing further came of this agreement until the 1830s. The church was eventually built between the years 1832 and 1834 at a total cost of £3,500 by Joseph Potter. It is in the Gothic style with much use of Lancet arches and has cast iron piers.[2] The money for construction was put forward by two sisters Ann and Elizabeth Harrison, daughters of Thomas Harrison, a wealthy saw manufacturer.

The church is built

Fleester Field was chosen as the site for the church at the top of gently sloping meadowland. The plans for the building were re-drafted a number of times before being approved by the Harrison sisters. In the Autumn of 1832 the site was marked out by the builder and on October 22 1832 the foundation stone was laid. 600 children who attended the local Sunday Schools were present at the laying of the stone which was carried out using a silver trowel by William Wilson, the uncle of the Harrison sisters. The church was opened on May 21 1834, 20 days later than the planned date of May 1; this delay was caused by a change in the design of the spire. The first service was led by Reverend S. Langton of St George's Church, Portobello and Wadsley’s first minister Francis Owen also delivered an address. The church was consecrated by the Archbishop of York Edward Venables-Vernon-Harcourt on August 25 1835.

On 30 June 1841 Wadsley parish church received some autonomy from the parish of Ecclesfield when it had a definite district assigned to it. In June 1857, the minister was eventually allowed to publish Banns of marriage and carry out all the usual duties when Wadsley became a "new parish". In March 1883 complete independence was achieved when Alfred Gatty, Vicar of Ecclesfield, relinquished all ties with Wadsley.

Moved to Warmley, Bristol, about 1860.

Opened C of E School in 1864.

July 12th. Have been obliged to send a note to Jarrett's mother on account of his continually coming late.

July 18th. The following report was received this morning:- "The examination has resulted very favourably for a school that has been in existence only a few months. Many of' the children in the first standard, who knew very little on their admittance, will require attention, especially in reading, and girls and boys alike in every class should be taught to speak and read loudly and distinctly. In other subjects attainments are satisfactory. The writing is good, the reading tolerably accurate, though as yet without much expression and the failures in arithmetic have been very few. In Scripture first and second classes showed a want of intelligence and a hesitation in answering which there is reason to believe is not usual with them. The school buildings are excellent and the school promises gradually to improve under its present teacher."

St. Barnabas Church, Warmley, celebrated its centenary in 1951 and will be looking forward to marking 150 years of religious leadership in the area in the year 2001.

The ecclesiastic boundaries of St. Barnabas were set out in 1851 and received the consent of Queen Victoria on the 23rd October 1851. The parish was formed out of the parishes of Siston and Bitton.

The boundary follows the small brook east of Cann Lane as far as Cowhorn Hill Bridge. From there it followed a foot path to the southern end of Wraxall Lane and proceeded up the middle of that road and down Grimsbury Road until it reached the main road.

The boundary then continued along Made-For-Ever Lane, now Tenniscourt Road, until it reached the crossroads at Fisher Road and thence along Anchor Road to Station Road. From here it goes to the railway bridge and over Goose Green Common as far as Brook Farm, where the boundary follows the brook downstream almost as far as the main road and then easterly between property boundaries towards Webbs Heath and eventually back to the starting point at Bridgeyate.

In the 143 years since the church was consecrated there have been thirteen vicars at St. Barnabas.
