Description

The Church of St Bartholomew is a parish church built in 1877 by Frederick R Kempson of Hereford, as indicated by a signed plan in the vestry. The church features a chancel, a north vestry, a nave, and a south porch, designed in the Early English style. It is constructed of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and has a plain tile roof.

The chancel includes an east window with three lancets and a traceried head under a two-centred head. The south wall has three closely set lancets, each with a trefoil head. The north vestry is gabled and accessed by steps, featuring a circular stone chimney stack for the boiler. The nave has four lancets, with two paired to the east, and a south door located between the other two within the south porch, which has a two-centred head, a stopped label, and a buttress. The south door also has a two-centred head with roll moulding and fillet, and moulded responds. The west wall contains a single lancet below a bell cote that holds two bells.

Inside, the chancel features an east window rere arch with detached columns made of red sandstone, a triple sedilia in the south wall, and a double piscina in the north wall. The chancel arch is chamfered with a roll to the soffit, and the respond capitals are foliated on red sandstone shafts that sit on fluted corbels. The chancel roof is a two-centred barrel vault with ribs and bosses, while the nave has a collar rafter roof with scissor arch braces and ashlar pieces.

The church has a full set of fittings, including a contemporary tiled floor, altar rail, pews, and pulpit. The font features a plain cup-shaped medieval bowl from the Old Church of St Bartholomew, set on a 19th-century base.
