St Barnabas, in the centre of Bromborough village, is the Church of England parish church for Bromborough. The first church on the site of today's church was built 928AD, adjacent to a monastery founded 912AD, probably by Aethelflaeda, the Lady of the Mercians and daughter of Alfred the Great. This Anglo-Saxon church was demolished in 1828, being replaced on the same site by another church which was itself replaced by the present church in 1864. A carved Anglo-Saxon preaching cross, discovered in the foundations of the first church, now stands by the south porch of the present church.
