Architecture

The arcades and chancel date to the 13th century, the tower and aisle are 14th-15th century. The building was restored in the 19th century: in 1841, 1856, and 1868-69 (the latter of which by Kirk and Parry) which involved the rebuilding of the north aisle, the south porch, the roofs of the aisle and the chancel. [2]

Monuments

Monuments in the chancel include a wall tablet to William Broxholme of 1684, a marble wall tablet to Roger Uppleby of 1780, and a marble wall tablet to George Uppleby of 1816. [2]

History

In the early 18th century, the choirmaster was John Harrison [3] a carpenter and clockmaker who invented the marine chronometer, a long-sought-after device for solving the problem of calculating longitude while at sea.

Organ

The Stamford Mercury of 23 August 1850 records a new organ presented to Barrow church by C. Uppleby Esq containing 14 stops. It contained the following inscription

1850. This organ is lent during the incumbency of the Rev. R.B.Machell to the parish church of Barrow by C. Uppleby, Esq. Thos.Kirke, churchwarden; John Moody, builder. [4]

The fate of this instrument is unclear. In 1946 Henry Groves and Son installed a second-hand instrument from a church in Liverpool. This has 2 manuals and 19 speaking stops. [5]

The tenth bell dates from 1882 by John Warner and Sons. The ninth to fifth bells are from 1953 by John Taylor and Co.
