History

The church dates from the 13th century, and was completed in 1474 with funding from Walter Blount, 1st Baron Mountjoy. The chancel was restored and lengthened by 11 feet (3.4 m) in 1904 by George Frederick Bodley.[3] Some of the tombs and memorials were moved to give a better view of the altar. The new chancel has no window at the east end, but a large reredos of carved white clunch filled the whole end, which was richly carved with subjects and figures, and effectively lit by two new traceried windows of three lights each in the north and south walls of the sanctuary. The pavements of the sanctuary and chancel were laid with black and white marble. The floor of the nave was laid with wooden blocks, and the aisles with slate and white stone. The plaster was removed from the walls. The roofs and various parts of the walls were decorated with gold and blue, with monograms of "B" for St Bartholomew.

gollark: All "higher arithmetic levels" are also controlled by infinitely recursive GTech™ metaprogrammable bees.
gollark: Those were trivially neutralized on arrival.
gollark: Incorrect. GTech™ facilities situated in ideatic mathematospace prevent this.
gollark: Secondly, it is not equal; if it were constructible, it would only be isomorphic.
