The north wall is dominated by a copy of the famous painting “The Light of the World” by Holman Hunt. A panel in the frame quotes Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” It was painted at the request of Canon Bartlett around 1917 by Mrs Bertha Victoria Taylor, a local artist. In 2020 it inspired David Ovenden to write a poem:

Much more than an oil painting 
Pleasing people, vain delight 
More a devotion, active, prayerful 
Jesus Christ, the one true light.

Looking in and see Him knocking 
At a door, with a lampen candle 
Inside unknown a lost man seeking 
Hears His voice and turn their handle

Door swings open Christ comes in 
Here, the Lord, the Lamb of God 
Come to help, forgive man's sin 
the light shine into darkness

To hear the Spirit call us near 
To He who saves by grace 
and reconciles all fear 
Inviting to a peaceful place.

To the right is a smaller picture, a copy by an unknown artist of the painting "Christ’s appearance to his Disciples after His resurrection" when Jesus showed “Doubting” Thomas his wounds, because Thomas had struggled to believe that Jesus had really risen from the dead (John 20:24–28). It is dedicated to one of the first two Churchwardens of St Barnabas:

An even smaller picture can be seen to the left; it is a copy of a Madonna and Child (with angels) by Lippi.
