Description
The Church of St Bartholomew is a parish church that dates from the late 13th century to early 14th century, with later additions. It is constructed of flint with stone dressings and features roofs made of black glazed pantiles, lead, and thatch. The church includes a northwest tower, a nave with north and south aisles, and a chancel. The embattled tower was built around 1300 and has west diagonal buttresses that were added in the 15th century. The west window is a 19th-century Decorated style, while the bell openings, which are blocked to the north, are in the 19th-century Perpendicular style.
The nave consists of four bays and has a diagonal buttress at the southwest corner. There is a 19th-century west window, and the south aisle is made of knapped flint with 19th-century four-light square-headed windows. A doorway in the first bay features continuous moulding with a hood-mould above, and there is a blocked doorway in the third bay. The north aisle has 19th-century square-headed three-light cusped windows, while the south clerestorey windows are 19th-century with two lights and four-centred arches. The north clerestorey features stone surrounds for two-light cusped windows and has a pantile roof.
The chancel has two bays with 19th-century fenestration and contains a blocked Y-tracery window from around 1300 in the north chancel wall, topped with a thatched roof. Inside, the south aisle has three bays, while the north aisle has four bays with late 15th-century octagonal piers and double hollow-chamfered four-centred arches. The arch-braced roofs of the nave and chancel were significantly restored in 1909, and the chancel arch has also been restored with a hood mould. There are cusped piscinae in both the south aisle and chancel. A notable tomb in the south aisle, dated 1439, belongs to Oliver Le Gros, and there is a fine 15th-century font for the seven sacraments. The church furnishings were restored in 1841.
