Church Of St Bartholomew

The Church of St. Bartholomew is a parish church with origins dating back to the early 12th century, featuring a west tower and nave. The chancel was added in the 13th century and includes 15th-century windows. The church has undergone restorations and the addition of a south porch in the mid-19th century. The exterior is finished in roughcast and render over flint, with stone dressings and tiled roofs.

The prominent west tower is wider than the nave and topped with a twin saddle-back roof from the 18th to early 19th century. Each side of the bell chamber features a pair of Romanesque openings with semi-circular roll-moulded arches of two orders on shafts with cushion capitals. Below these are small single lights with unmoulded semi-circular heads, and even smaller similar lights at the ground floor on the north and south sides. The west window, dating from the 13th century, is a three-light design made of chalk with plate tracery. The narrow nave contains a small original window with a semi-circular head on the north side, along with two later two-light traceried windows on the south. There is a blocked north doorway with a narrow chamfered pointed arch, and the south door features a similar arch within the 19th-century gabled wooden porch.

The chancel has two chamfered lancets on the north side, a three-light traceried east window, and two restored two-light traceried windows with flat heads on the south side. A central south door is also present, along with 19th-century buttresses.

Inside, the tower features a moulded arch on shafts leading to the inner face of the west window, and a tall wide unmoulded semi-circular arch leading into the nave. The nave itself has semi-circular rere-arches to the doorways and south windows, as well as a medieval roof of four bays with chamfered arch-braces to the collars and heavy simple wind-braces. There is a 19th-century wooden arch and screen leading to the chancel, and a reworked 15th-century octagonal font adorned with traceried panels. Other fittings within the church are from the 19th century.
