The Parish Church of St Bartholomew

The Parish Church of St Bartholomew is a parish church located on Batts Bridge Road in Maresfield. It dates from around 1080, with significant alterations and additions made in the 13th and 14th centuries, and a 15th-century tower. The church features a nave with aisles, a chancel, north and south transepts, a south chapel, a north porch, and a west tower.

The exterior includes a 15th-century west tower with four stages, a crenellated parapet, and double trefoils at the bell stage with wooden louvres and buttresses. The west side has a traceried window and an arched doorcase with hoodmoulding and blank shields in the spandrels. The south wall of the nave features one single and one double trefoliated window, a round-headed lancet from around 1080, and two buttresses. The south transept has traceried windows, while the north nave wall has two double trefoliated windows and a buttress. The 19th-century north porch has a sandstone base, a wooden superstructure, and a Horsham slab roof, with two triple trefoil-headed windows on the sides. The shape of the north doorway may be Norman, and it features fretted bargeboards and an arched doorcase with trefoils in the spandrels. The north transept includes a rose window, and the chancel has a two-bay lower section with double trefoil-headed windows and a small pointed arched window. The east window is also from the 19th century, and the south chapel has a traceried window to the east and a cinquefoil-headed arched doorcase to the south.

Inside, there is a Jacobean pulpit and communion rail with vertically symmetrical balusters and large knobs on the posts. The chancel's two-light north window contains stained glass, likely by Powell. There is also a wall tablet commemorating Edward Kidder, who died in 1817, featuring a medallion with a Turkish soldier.
