St Barnabas (Former), Holden Road, Woodside Park
April 21, 2017 10:29 / 4 Comments on St Barnabas (Former), Holden Road, Woodside Park
A typical large J.S. Alder church of 1912-14. The interior has been split with the west end converted to offices and rooms. A western balcony was built over them facing into the church. The photos below were taken with the church set up for a toddler group, rather than worship. In late 2018 the church moved to a former office block, Solar House, on North Finchley High Road and this building is being (March 2020) converted to housing (see lowest images).

A church plant from St Barnabas, Woodside Park but now an independent congregation. The building is a small hall not far down the road from All Saints. The lower images show the church in April 2017, and the upper ones show it in January 2023 with an extension on the side, this acts as a hall but can be opened up to extend the worship area which is on the left-hand side of the building.

Mary Immaculate and St Gregory, Union Street, Barnet (Roman Catholic)

Off the centre of Barnet, the church was designed by Lanner of Wakefield in 1977 and was extended towards the road in 2017. It was reopened in September 2017, after a year’s closure. The engraved windows are by Sally Scott. The final pictures are from April 2017, when the whole building was being gutted and the extension added.
