The Name....

Barnaby is named after a local holiday in Macclesfield.

It is the most famous and one of the oldest of all Macclesfield's fun fairs and is held at midsummer. It usually coincides with school half-term holidays.
The holiday of St Barnabus is commemorated on June 11 which was midsummer in 1752 when the date was agreed. The local holiday is still held at midsummer although the date has changed. The holiday still bears a corruption of the saint's name.
