was a new and decorative chancel arch, and an open-timbered roof, of which the braces under the collar were supported on "richly carved corbels." The chancel floor was laid with encaustic tiles by Maw & Co. of Jackfield. Barber reinstalled the original east window's stonework, and put in stained glass by Powell of Leeds. A Caen stone credence table was built into the south wall of the chancel, there was new heating and gas lighting, and all windows had been replaced. Gill & Co. were the stonemasons. Items donated by the congregation were the altar cloth, altar rails and standards, alms dish and collecting bags, brass pulpit desk and lights, oak chairs, brass lectern and a new font carved by sculptor George Dyson of Crosland Moor. The 1877 chancel gave occasion for a new reredos. On Sunday 27 July 1879 three special services raising £13 in collections were given at the church by the vicars of Newmill, Meltham and Linthwaite to inaugurate the reredos. The reredos was designed by Barber and carved by Cox, Sons, Buckley & Co. of London at a total cost of £130 raised by subscription from the parish. The reredos was replaced in 1920 and is now lost, but the Huddersfield Chronicle described it thus in 1879:"It is of richly carved oak with croquets and terminals and illuminated panels, with emblems representing the Four Evangelists, the Agnus Dei and the Cross occupying the central position; the whole being further enriched by the not too frequent use of the fleur-de-lys. The dado is richly illuminated on zinc." Church of St Thomas the Apostle, Killinghall, 1880 This is an unlisted building in Killinghall, Harrogate, North Yorkshire. It is a large building for its simple, bell-gable design. It retains its original pews, font and pulpit. It has two bells by John Taylor of Loughborough and Mears & Stainbank, plus a clock with tower mechanism. Church of St James the Less, New Mills, 1880 This is a Grade II listed building in New Mills; the associated almshouses, also designed by Barber in 1880, are also Grade II listed. Barber said he bore "ungrudging testimony to the good workmanship and willingness" of his craftsmen on this job. St James the Less, consecrated on 11 October 1880, is a decorated Gothic Revival and Arts and Crafts building in a style reminiscent of the late 13th century. The client wanted a simple building,
