Church Of St Bartholomew

The Church of St. Bartholomew is a church located in Little Packington, with a nave dating from the 12th century and a chancel from the 13th century. The church has undergone significant alterations and restorations in the 19th century. It is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble and features a plain-tiled gable roof with end parapets supported by kneelers and topped with gable crosses. The corbelled eaves are partly original. The layout includes a nave, chancel, south porch, and north vestry. At the west end of the nave, there is a bell turret, which is a mid-19th century addition, although its base is medieval. The turret is timber framed and has a pyramidal plain-tiled roof with a weathervane.

The west window consists of three lights set within a 2-centred, chamfered arch. The church has two-stage diagonal buttressing at the southwest and northwest corners. The south wall features a window with three trefoil lights and a trefoil above. The south doorway, dating from the late 12th century, has an unmoulded round-headed arch resting on a moulded capital, and a label adorned with nail head ornamentation. The chancel, originating from the 13th century, includes a window in the south wall with a pointed trefoil arch and a pointed trefoil above it. The east window is composed of three lights with intersecting tracery set in a 2-centred arch.

Inside, the nave consists of four bays and features a 2-centred chancel arch from the 19th century, with two moulded arches, the inner one resting on corbels. The font has a round bowl supported by a cylindrical stem.
