St Barnabas Church Ranmore
St Barnabas Church, Ranmore Common Road, Ranmore Common, Dorking, Surrey, RH5 6SP
Lord Ashcombe developed what became the Denbies Estate through an extensive building scheme involving Denbies itself as the Main House, the church, the church school, The Rectory, The Dispensary and many cottages, all of which still exist.
Discover the church, which was built in 1859 by the family firm, Cubitts The Builders; their credentials as a master building firm are shown throughout the church, not least in the quality and quantity of decorative work and in the materials employed. It is said that the church cost three times the average for a church of this size.
Of particular note are the picturesque setting, the fine spire containing an excellent ring of eight bells, the Gothic revival interior and the memorial chapel.
