Church Of St Bartholomew

The Church of St Bartholomew is a building dating to circa 1827, incorporating remains from the 14th century, and significantly altered and extended in 1890 by Basil Champneys, with later modifications. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar with slate roofs. The church comprises a west tower with a spire, a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, porches, and chapels, and a lower chancel with a three-sided apse.

The tower features diagonal buttresses and a stone spire set back behind an embattled parapet with corner pinnacles. The west doorway is moulded with a pointed head, above which is a window of two cinque-foiled lights with Perpendicular tracery. The bell openings are each of two trefoiled ogee lights under a pointed head with quatrefoil. The upper stage of the tower has a clock face on each side. The nave and aisles have embattled parapets and are of three bays, with three-light windows featuring pointed heads and cusped intersecting tracery. The south porch has angle buttresses and an elliptical moulded arch doorway, while the north porch has diagonal buttresses and a moulded Tudor-arched doorway. The clerestory windows have cusped intersecting tracery. The north and south chapels are each of two bays with four-light windows containing Perpendicular tracery; foundation stones are dated 1901 and 1903 respectively. The chancel east window is of five lights with Perpendicular tracery.

Inside, the nave arcades have pointed arches springing from tall octagonal piers. Roof trusses have king-posts rising from cambered tie-beams, with some stencil decoration. The tower arch, purported to be from the 14th century, is of two chamfered orders dying into the responds. The chancel has a ribbed ceiling with bosses and stencil decoration, and contains a pulpit dated 1611. Sixteen windows contain glass from the late 19th and early 20th centuries by Kempe. A table tomb is located at the west end of the nave, bearing recumbent effigies of Richard Parkes and his wife (died 1618).
