St Bartholomew's Church, Wilmslow, Anglican parish church in Wilmslow, England.
St Bartholomew's Church is an Anglican parish church in Wilmslow featuring English Gothic characteristics dating from the early 16th century. The building displays a west tower, five-bay nave, and side chapels built from cream-colored sandstone with a slate roof.
The original church was founded in 1246, with the current structure rebuilt in the early 16th century during an era of church expansion. Major restoration work by architect J.S. Crowther in 1878 renewed much of the building's appearance.
The interior contains monuments to notable local families whose members shaped the community over centuries. These stone effigies and tombs offer a window into who held importance in the parish through different eras.
The church welcomes visitors during regular Anglican services and houses a restored organ dating to 1866. The churchyard terrain is uneven due to centuries of burials, so wear suitable footwear when exploring the grounds.
The churchyard holds one of Cheshire's oldest gravestones carved in 1596, a marker that has survived over 400 years of weather and time. The grounds also contain war graves honoring eight soldiers and a Royal Navy sailor from the world wars.
