Barnsley is known for many things, St Mary's isn't one of them. It pleasant and its quiet but maybe not quite glorious. It was open.
Saw Barnsley youth choir here, great experience
Beautiful little garden donated by the benefactor of the Cooper gallery( nearly opposite). Good place for a morning's sketching.
Unsure if this is open to worshipers
Excellent remembrance service. Church was cold, but the welcome was warm
