St Bartholomew's Church, Burnley, Anglican church in Richmond, Melbourne, Australia
St Bartholomew's Church on Burnley Street is a red brick building with a crenellated bell tower and a four-bay nave. The interior is lit by multiple stained glass windows that add color and light throughout the worship space.
The Victorian government granted land for the church in 1870, leading to the construction of a wooden building in 1885. The current brick structure replaced the original building in 1910.
The parish recognizes the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nations as traditional land custodians and creates a welcoming environment for all community members. People from different backgrounds gather here for prayer and fellowship.
The church is open for prayer daily and offers a quiet place to visit throughout the week. Visitors should be aware that access may be limited during services, so it is best to call ahead or check ahead if you plan to visit during service times.
In 2014, six new bells were installed and consecrated in the tower, significantly enhancing the musical capabilities of this inner-city building. These modern bells together create melodies that ring out across the neighborhood today.
