Description
The Church of St Bartholomew is a parish church located in Norton in the Moors, Stoke on Trent. It was built in 1738 by Richard Trubshaw, with the chancel and its chapels rebuilt in 1914 by J.H. Beckett. The church is constructed of brick with stone dressings and features a west tower, nave, two aisles, and a chancel.
The west tower is composed of two stages and includes stone string courses and angle pilasters topped with ball finials above the parapet. It has a doorway with a segmentally-arched head and large voussoirs, as well as circular and round-arched openings above. The aisles have stone quoins, plinths, and cornices, with blind windows in the west walls. Each aisle consists of three bays, featuring brick aprons and stone sills beneath round-arched windows.
The south aisle chapel was likely added along with the chancel in 1914 and includes a Palladian window in the south wall. The north aisle chapel, added in 1916, has paired hipped roofed bays. The chancel is also an addition, showcasing a Palladian east window with a stone apron and a cross in the pedimented east gable.
