St Bertoline's Church, Barthomley

The nave and tower date from the late 15th century, Until 200 years ago it was the parish church of a vast area of southeast Cheshire, and the village was the centre of a very scattered community. Since then, many hamlets within the parish, Alsager, Crewe and Haslington, have blossomed and flourished into parishes of their own, leaving Barthomley at the centre as a parish of about 400 people. The Parochial Church Council has recently overseen the completion of the second stage of a major restoration. The Parochial Church Council is soon to oversee the final stage of restoration.

The parish registers begin in 1562 and the churchwardens' accounts in 1660. This organ was replaced in 2005 by a Makin Digital Organ.
