Description

The Church of St. Bartholomew is a parish church built in 1836. It is constructed of stone with ashlar dressings, all tooled and margined, and features a slate roof. The church has an aisleless nave, a south-west porch, and a short chancel, all designed in a Romanesque style. The exterior includes a roll-moulded plinth and a round-arched, moulded doorway in the porch, which has a trefoiled niche above featuring a Virgin and Child, along with a gable cross. Most openings are round-arched, except for three trefoil-headed windows in the eastern nave bays and the porch's west wall. There is a short buttress between the west end windows with a quatrefoil above, and a double bellcote on the gable end. The chancel windows are roll-moulded, with the east end pair situated under a trefoiled roundel, both beneath hoodmoulds with carved stops. The eaves corbel table features grotesque masks in the porch and chancel.

Inside, there is a gallery stair with stick balusters and a vase newel in the west lobby. The lobby doors and gallery front are adorned with linenfold panelling. The round chancel arch has dogtooth detailing on the shafts with stiff-leaf capitals, and the Royal Arms of William IV is displayed above. The roof features braced king-and-queen-post construction. The east window glass, created by Thomas Willement, includes medallions "in the style of c.1200."

The church was built for the Baker-Cresswell family of Cresswell Hall, whose family pew originally occupied most of the chancel.
