St Barnabas was built in 1933 by the Church of England, the fruit of a mission begun almost forty years earlier in what was then a rapidly expanding industrial district of the city; see the Victoria County History of Warwickshire Vol 8 pp361-7 https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/warks/vol8/pp361-367 . Today it belongs to a Christian community of Indian heritage. 'Masihi' means 'Christian' in Hindi (and also in Urdu and Persian).
