ABOUT JERICHO - PLANNING
Where the community centre came from?
The centre was built at the end of the 19th century as the Church Institute for St. Barnabas.
About the church bells?
Originally the Church only had the single ‘Barney’s Bell’. In 1890, when the clock was installed, it was decided to add a set of tubular bells to ring the chimes and the hour strike, as well as a tune or ‘carillon’. The are driven by an elaborate mechanical contraption.
