St Barnabas’ Church Clarksfield, Oldham
The church before we built the link between the church and hall. The blue door in the foreground is now a window; and the bell-cote was removed in 2011. © Philip Kapp.	Robert Martin of Manchester was commissioned to convert the old St Barnabas Hall into a Church complex. This plan was eventually chosen, and was drawn up in 1932.
