Barber or W.
Swinden Barber, was an English Gothic Revival and Arts and Crafts architect, specialising in modest but finely furnished Anglican churches.
The Barber churches often had crenellated bell-towers.

At least 15 surviving examples of his work are Grade II listed buildings including his 1875 design for the Victoria Cross at Akroydon.
An 1864 portrait by David Wilkie Wynfield depicts him in Romantic garb, holding a flower.
He served in the Artists Rifles regiment in the 1860s alongside Wynfield and other contemporary artists.
