Church Of St Bartholomew

The Church of St Bartholomew is a parish church that dates from the late 12th century to the early 13th century, with restorations carried out in the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble and features a tiled roof. The church has a continuous nave and chancel, a late 19th-century south porch, and a west vestry.

The nave and chancel are characterized by a plinth and raised verges, with a single restored 19th-century lancet window flanking the gabled south porch. The inner doorway, dating from the late 12th century, has a two-centred arched head with two orders: an outer chamfered continuous order and an inner roll-moulded order with chamfered imposts, topped with a 19th-century moulded label. The north wall of the nave features three similar restored 19th-century lancet windows, while the west window from the 15th century has three cinquefoil-headed lights with tracery. To the left of the chancel doorway, which has a semicircular head from the 12th century, are a pair of 14th-century trefoiled-ogee headed lights, and to the right are a pair of late 13th-century trefoil-headed lights. The north wall of the chancel retains two lancet windows, and the east end has two lower single lancets along with a 13th-century lancet in the gable.

Inside, the church features concave splayed reveals to the east windows, with labels that continue around the interior as a string course, and similar sills that form a second string course below. The north wall of the chancel also has concave splayed reveals for its lancets. The nave has a 14th or 15th-century trussed-rafter roof with scissor bracing, while the chancel roof from the 15th century consists of three bays with four hammer-beam trusses, decorative members, and traceried infilling between the hammer beams and collars. There is no chancel arch. The mid to late 19th-century organ case features columns and caryatids that are said to have been removed from a private house.
