Welcome to the web site of St Barnabas Church, Swanland, East Yorkshire, a member of the Church of England.

Although there has been a CofE church in the village since 1899, the current, multi-purpose building was opened in only 1992, and now serves the needs of over 200 regular members, and a further 200+ Youth/Children throughout the week.
