Church Of St Bartholomew

The Church of St Bartholomew is a church dating to 1893, designed by Paley and Austin. It is constructed of dressed stone with ashlar dressings and stone slate roofs. The church comprises a nave, aisles, a crossing tower, a south transept, a north organ loft and vestry, and a chancel, all executed in a Free Perpendicular style. Most windows have three-centred cusped heads. The four-bay nave has two-bay aisles to the east. The west end features flat weathered buttresses flanking a three-light window. Straight-headed north and south windows have two and three lights respectively; the aisle returns have single lights. The gabled south porch has a three-centred arch with a label mould and a statue in a niche above, and a single light to the south. The crossing tower has a square, south-east stair turret and a single light to the west with a clock face above. There are two ogee-headed lights to the north, a bell opening of three lights with louvres, an impost course, an embattled parapet with water spouts, and a pyramidal roof with a tall cross. The gabled organ loft has a straight-headed three-light north window, and an outshut under a catslide roof to the east, featuring two straight-headed windows of three lights and an entrance with a shouldered lintel. The transept has a two-light straight-headed traceried window and a large weathered buttress to the west. The chancel has a five-light east window and a gable cross, with a two-light window to the south.

Inside, the porch features two pairs of doors. The nave has arch-braced double collar trusses and two tiers of wind braces. An octagonal stone font has buttresses and a Tudor flower, along with a cover. There is also a small font and cover, and the royal arms of 1815 from a previous church of 1814. The two-bay arcades have double-chamfered segmental arches dying into octagonal pier and responds. The church has simple pews with moulded muntins. The crossing arches die into octagonal piers. A chancel screen to the west and parclose screens to the north and south have tracery and a cornice with brattishing. Arches between the aisles and vestry and transept are hollow-chamfered with a Tudor flower, that to the vestry with a screen. The transept has pews and an entrance to the tower in a projection. The timber pulpit stands on a stone base and features pierced tracery and a cornice; a wood eagle lectern is also present. The chancel has an arch-braced collar roof with struts and wind braces. Stalls have tracery panels. A south recess below a window contains a piscina with a three-centred head and lobed bowl. A north entrance has a tracery head. An early 18th century altar rail with turned balusters and a wood credence shelf on struts is also present.
