Interior of St. Barnabas Church, Pimlico, 1850. View from the nave, looking east. 'The windows throughout the Church - every one of stained glass - are the gifts of private individuals. The altar, the font, the holy vessels, the illuminated office- books for the service of the altar, the vestments, the corona lucis in the chancel, the eagle of brass, together with several other costly ornaments, are also gifts...The internal fittings are entirely of oak, executed by Messrs. Jordan and Co...Mr. Potter has supplied the smiths' work and greater part of the brass-work; but the gates to the rood, the corona, credence-table, and plate are by Messrs. Hardman, of Birmingham. The stained glass forms a series of subjects from the life of St. Barnabas, and is entirely from the factory of Mr. Wailes, of Newcastle'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
