History
Saint Barnabas, West Hackney, was opened in 1890 as part of the Merchant Taylor's School Mission. Following the destruction of West Hackney Church by enemy action in 1940, Saint Barnabas began to play a wider role in the community. The two parishes amalgamated in 1955. The church building is Byzantine in style and plan. It was constructed between 1909 and 1910 and was consecrated in 1929.
