Barnes is a district inside the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It is inside the north east of the borough and is positioned 9.3 km west south west of Charing Cross. Barnes has a lot of eighteenth centu and nineteenth century buildings in the streets close to Barnes Pond, which make up Barnes Village conservation area exactly where many of the mid-19th century buildings are placed. On the east riverside, there’s the WWT London Wetland Centre which adjoins several fields for 3 principal national team sports. The town once was a part of Surrey, and it appears in the Domesday book as ‘Berne’. Barnes’ village church was built in between 1100 and 1150 and named the Chapel of St Mary’s. It was extended during the early 13th century, and was added to again in 1786. A big fire destroyed components of the extensions to the church in 1978, so restoration work was completed in 1984. Barnes has a great deal of sporting history spanning decades. In football, a High Master of St Paul’s School, Richard Mulcaster, is recognised with turning mob football into a refereed team sport. The school sits on Lonsdale Road, but at the time of Mulcaster it was located in St Paul’s Cathedral. The town includes a non-league football team known as Stonewall FC, who play at Barn Elms Playing Fields. Barnes Rugby Club is assumed to be the oldest club in the world in any football code. They play next to the WWT London Wetlands Centre. The town is also known for rowing; the loop of the Thames surrounding Barnes is a part of the Championship Course made use of for the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race.
