Dist:0.9km<br/>Looking from the cemetery towards the rear of St Bartholomew's (the front view is almost totally obscured by trees at this time of year). The church building is quite modern having been rebuilt in 1995 after a fire which destroyed the old church, leaving only the tower intact.

Dist:0.9km<br/>A thoroughgoing reconstruction of the original building has left only the original tower standing whilst the space has been used to provide modern worship and community facilities. Not many parishes have had such courage. I hope it works.
