Description
The Church of St Bartholomew is a Grade II* listed church built between 1879 and 1881 by F J Robinson, which incorporates earlier elements, including a 13th-century west tower. The tower is constructed of coursed gritstone, while the nave and chancel are made of limestone ashlar. The church features a west tower, nave, and chancel, each with a north aisle and a large west buttress. This buttress dates from the same period as the slightly later second stage of the tower, which has small lancet windows. The tower is topped in the Perpendicular style with flat-headed two-light mullioned windows, battlements, and 19th-century pinnacles.
The work completed between 1879 and 1881 is in the Early English style, characterized by plate tracery and lancets. A 12th-century south doorway features one order of colonnettes, chevron moulding over the arch, and a tympanum with crude incised pictures. Inside, there is a three-bay nave north arcade and a two-bay chancel north arcade, both with foliage capitals. The 13th-century tower arch has three steps on simple imposts, while the chancel arch from the 14th century has 19th-century responds. A 12th-century tub-shaped font rests on a short stumpy arcade with a 19th-century base. Notable interior features from around 1881 include a pulpit adorned with blue John bosses, a marble reredos, a tiled chancel floor, and brass altar rails, along with a lectern and candle holders on choir stalls.
