Church Of St Bartholomew

The Church of St. Bartholomew is a Grade II listed building located on the south side of Nettlebed High Street. The tower, likely built in the late 18th century, is complemented by the main church structure, which was constructed between 1845 and 1846 by architect Henry Hakewill. The church is primarily made of grey brick, with some red brick used in the tower, and features stone window surrounds and a slate roof.

The building has a four-bay nave with a south aisle, a two-bay chancel, and a vestry located to the south, along with a west tower designed in the Early English style. A plank door with a two-centre arch and a stone surround leads into a gabled porch with a slate roof, positioned to the left of the center. The south aisle is adorned with three 19th-century windows featuring reticulated tracery, while the chancel has two lancet windows. The church has a two-span roof, and the vestry is situated at the angle between the south aisle and the chancel, featuring a plank door and a gable above with reticulated tracery, capped by a complex hipped roof.

The tower, which is on the left side, consists of three stages. It includes a plank door at the rendered ground floor, a Y-tracery window on the first floor, and paired lancets on the second floor, topped with a crenellated parapet. The east window features reticulated tracery. Inside, there is a brass memorial plate from 1637 and notable 18th-century stone memorials located in the south aisle. The pulpit, made of green and cream marble, dates from the early 20th century. The east window and the western window of the south aisle were designed by artist John Piper.
