He returned to the league for Keighley in 1934 when he was 61. Barnes played minor county and league cricket well into his sixties and died aged 94 on 26 December 1967 at Chadsmoor, Staffordshire. Barnes was described as more than six feet tall and maintaining an erect posture with wide shoulders, a deep chest, long arms and strong legs -- in John Arlott's view, ``perfectly built to be a bowler''. He bowled right arm fast-medium but also had what Arlott called ``the accuracy, spin and resource of a slow bowler''.
