Description
The Church of St. Bartholomew is a small church built in 1752 and extended in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of red brick with a stone plinth and quoins, topped with a slate and plain tile roof featuring kneelers. The church has a miniature west tower, a nave, and a small chancel. The nave was extended to the north in a similar style during the mid-19th century. Most openings have round-headed rusticated stone surrounds with keystones. The west tower consists of three stages, featuring a parapet, stone bands, a cornice, and simple pinnacles. The west door has a tablet dated 1752, a bull's eye window, and a bell-opening above. The nave includes two windows on the south side, two larger ones on the north side, and three small windows on the west side, with a similar window on the east. The roof of the nave has mid-19th century trusses and is boarded with slate covering. The chancel has a plastered roof, plain tiles, a stone-coped gable, and a cornice. Inside, the church has plastered walls, possibly a contemporary small front, and three late 18th-century wall monuments.
