# St Bartholomew, Butterton

St Bartholomew’s is a Grade II parish church on the Causeway, Butterton, Staffordshire, in the Diocese of Lichfield, a late nineteenth-century Moorlands church with a tall west spire on a much older site.

## Overview

Historic England lists a parish church of 1871–73 by Ewan Christian, with a west spire of 1879 by Sugden, in a late thirteenth-century style. The fabric is squared and coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and clay tile roofs with coped verges. The plan is a two-bay chancel, three-bay nave with south porch, north aisle and a west tower with stone spire. The three-stage tower has an offset plinth, crenellated parapet with crocketed corner pinnacles, and gabled openings to the spire. Listing NGR is SK 07593 56580.

The interior has a north arcade on cylindrical columns, a pointed chancel arch from moulded corbels, a scissor-braced nave roof and a boarded chancel roof. Fittings include an octagonal sandstone font of about 1300 and seventeenth-century oak chairs in the tower and chancel. A wooden plaque records a 1775 bequest by Ruth Stubs. The National Churches Trust notes a church on the site since about 1254 and that the present building replaced a chapel of 1563. The spire is a landmark in the Staffordshire Moorlands.
