Charterhouse-on-Mendip in Somerset also had a historic lead mining and refining industry.

Barnacre in Lancashire also has racing stables within its environs.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

I assume that you mean the civil parish of Barnacre-with-Bonds in the Wyre district of Lancashire?

If so, the Roman Catholic Church of St Mary and St Michael in the village of Bonds was designed by the Lancaster Architect E G Paley and was built in 1857 - 1858. A slightly later (and for a different denomination) Church designed by him is the Anglican Church of St. George in Barrow-in-Furness, built between 1859 and 1861.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Barnacre-with- Bonds is a civil parish with associated hamlets. Barnacre. like the hamlet of Bonds, is one of those hamlets and has historical connections to the town of Garstang.
