Church of St Mary and St Bartholomew

The Church of St Mary and St Bartholomew is a Grade I listed building located in Radcliffe, Church Green. It has elements from the 14th, 15th, 17th, and 19th centuries. The chancel arch is from the Decorated period, while the two-bay nave is likely late Perpendicular, featuring arcades with four broad shafts and broad diagonal hollows, as well as large bosses on the renewed roof. The clerestory windows have uncusped arches. The north transept retains some medieval masonry, while the former south transept was demolished to make way for the south aisle, constructed by J M and H Taylor between 1870 and 1873, which included most of the exterior design. The chancel was built in 1817, and the tower, likely from the 15th century, was dated '1665', indicating it was probably restored at that time. The vestry was added in 1903. There are seats at the west end of the nave with panels, some inscribed with the date '1665', and others originating from a pulpit dated 1606. A stained glass window in the south aisle was created by Kempe in 1906. An alabaster slab with effigies of James de Radcliffe and his wife, dating from the early 16th century, is located under the altar.
