There is also a #romancatholic bishop of #barsetshire - resident not far outside #barchester itself - not to mention a rabbi, an imam and a tantric guru - the last based outside #barchester in part of the former #palliser estate. There are several restaurants in #barchester which offer a wide range of cuisine - #chinese ,
#easternmediterranean , #italian and #southasian - not to mention a fish restaurant . Meals also available elsewhere - in local pubs.

Contemporary #barchester retains a railway station and a bishopric of the established church but has developed and grown in many ways since the Victorian era when it was first described. It even has had its own university since the 1990s - although this has had to make redundancies in recent years. The #palliser dynasty appears to be around no longer although its legacy remains pervasive. After a gap of generations there is a bishop #grantley in place .
