Barnsley in Polyptych (#24), Holy Rood, Barnsley Catholic Church, Polyptych

Originally, a polyptych was a religious piece on an alter which had four or more hinged panels. Each panel displayed a relief or painting. I've used this artistic technique to create a themed photographic sequence or a group of pictures of a particular part of buildings, monuments etc located in Barnsley .

Each composition consists of photographs taken in Barnsley, a town in South Yorkshire, England.

In 1903 the foundation stone was laid for the present church of Holy Rood.

The site of the church, which was opened in 1905, is in an elevated position and its spire visible across the skyline of Barnsley town centre. The church was consecrated on 14 May 1919. It was designed by Bradford architects Edward Simpson and his son Charles Simpson.

The church is in the Late Victorian Gothic style, with a Welsh slate roof and a tower to the north-west of the building. The tower is square at its base and then becomes octagonal. The spire is stone and has gargoyles around it. The baptistry is to the south-west of the nave and has five sides.
