Church Of St Bartholomew

The Church of St. Bartholomew is a 15th-century church, originally built in the Perpendicular style. It was restored in 1856 by Larmer and further altered in 1890 by F. C. Lees, who added a stone tower and extended the west end. The church is constructed of Reigate stone, with rubblestone on the south side of the nave and chancel, and has ashlar dressings. The roofs are of Horsham roofing slabs, with wood shingles on the belltower and a broach spire topped with a Heron and scroll finial weathervane.

The church comprises a nave, a south porch, a chancel to the east, a vestry on the south side, and a bellcote over the western gable. The west end features a broach spire. The north side has a diagonal buttress to the chancel, two-light Perpendicular style windows with label mouldings (some with arched hoods), and three stepped, single, arched lancets in square surrounds. The east end has a re-cut three-light, rectilinear window in a coved surround. The south side incorporates a two-light window on the chancel and a catslide vestry. A C19 window sits east of the south porch, while another is located to the west. The westernmost bay has a three-light, late-C19 window with moulded sills and a plinth string course. The west end is characterised by ball flower eaves, a three-light Y-tracery window over a pentice with a Horsham-slab roofed porch narthex, and traceried open arcading over plinth walls with a central opening for the west doors. A gabled porch to the south has a hood mould and a chamfered surround to the door, with an ogee-head hood moulding over a lancet in the gable apex and windows in the return walls.

The interior is relatively simple, featuring a panelled, round vaulted nave ceiling. There are chamfered tower and chancel arches, the latter with a half-octagonal impost. The chancel roof is panelled with bosses. Fittings include a gilt, plaster, and stone reredos with a blind arcade of two bays flanking a nine-bay centre reredos; alternating panels display depictions of Saints and Christ. A panelled pulpit and an octagonal marble font with a central stem, surrounding pillars, and three "shouldered" arched panels on each face are also present. The font is covered by a C19 traceried, fret-work, ogee-domed cover. A five-bay C20 gallery extends to the west end, supported by thin, four-columned pillars with cusping to the bay heads, and a billeted top with foliage frieze and crocketed finials. Two hatchments are located in the chancel. An East Window, designed by Kempe in 1890, contains stained glass.
