Abstract: |
Historic building recording of St Bartholomew's Church was undertaken to English Heritage Level 3. The recording confirmed that the 13th century chancel was the oldest part of the building. No standing elements of an earlier church, built in the late 11th/early 12th century, survived above ground. The windows of the nave and tower of the church were characteristic of the early perpendicular period, suggesting an early 15th century origin. A window inserted into the south wall of the chancel is of a slightly later medieval design; this may have been bequeathed to the church in a will of 1494. Other manifestations of late medieval piety included the south porch, probably added in the early 16th century, which was originally built in brick but was rebuilt by a local builder in 1906. The building recording found evidence that the roof of the nave had been replaced, possibly in the mid-19th century. The chancel of the church was restored by Arthur Conran Blomfield in 1904. Building recording revealed that this restoration comprised the replacement of an earlier roof with a three-bay oak arch braced collar truss roof with ridge beam, purlins and wall posts on corbels. In 1954 the chancel of the then-disused church was converted into a cemetery chapel, the roof of the nave was removed and the nave converted into a paved garden of rest and remembrance designed by the architect David G. Martin. Rectified photographs were taken of the cruciform path in the open nave. |
