St Bartholomew

This is the third church on the site and the date 1702 is picked out in dark bricks either side of the Whitehurst clock on the tower.

It is brick with stone quoins, but retains pillars and some woodwork from the second church of 1541. That church was built by the Minshull family and many have been buried under the floor, including Jeffrey Minshull, friend and contemporary of William Shakespeare.

There are tombs to the Wade's, Cholmondelley's and Brooke's families. The box pews are a mixture of Georgian and Victorian replacements and a minstrel gallery at the west end of the nave is also Victorian. There is a ring of six bells.
