Additional information:
St Barnabas, St Marylebone was a district Anglican church built as a church of ease, in order to ease the heavy population demands of the mother, or ancient parish of St Marylebone.
The church was consecrated in 1865. The church was badly damaged by bombing during World War II. From 1941 the parish was administered by the Rector of Christ Church, Cosway Street, with St John's Wood Chapel, who was based at St John's House. The reorganisation scheme for St Marylebone proposed that St Barnabas' Church should be closed and the parish united with Christ Church, Cosway Street. The scheme was ratified legally by Order in Council in March 1952, though it had been put into effect in practice by 1948.[2]
Here's a list of District Churches and Chapels in Pre-1900 St Marylebone.
