Church of St Bartholomew, Cranmore

The Church of St Bartholomew features perpendicular Gothic architecture with an ornamental crenellated tower, tall pointed windows, and detailed stone carvings throughout the structure.

Dating from 1450, the church contains numerous memorial tombs of the Chetham family, who held the manor of Southill House during the seventeenth century.

The church maintains regular monthly family services, morning worship sessions, and holy communion gatherings, serving as the central religious institution in Cranmore.

Visitors can access the church during daylight hours throughout the year, with special opening times during seasonal celebrations and religious holidays.

The bell tower received a new frame in 1999, expanding from five to six bells, which rang together for the first time to mark the beginning of 2000.
