Background
History
The present church stands slightly to the south of a former chapel of ease that was in existence by 1610. This was rebuilt in 1815, but all that remains of it is a porch to the north of the present church, which is used as a shed. St Bartholomew's was built in 1892–93, and designed by the Lancaster firm of architects, Paley, Austin and Paley. The church cost £3,000 (equivalent to £}} in ).
Architecture
The interior of the church is faced with ashlar stone. The two-bay arcades are carried on octagonal piers. In the church are Royal arms of 1815. The stained glass in the west window was made in 1893 by Powell's to a design by Harrington Mann. The glass elsewhere is by Shrigley and Hunt. There is a ring of six bells. Five of these were cast by John Taylor of Loughborough, three of them in 1893, one in 1897, and one in 1964. The sixth bell was cast in 2003 by Eijsbouts.
