Exterior

St Bartholomew's is built in the Perpendicular style in coursed rubble, with roofs of stone slate.^[3] Its plan consists of a nave with a west tower, aisles and a chancel to the east. There is a porch to the south and a vestry to the north.^[1] The tower has four stages and diagonal buttresses. There is a stair turret at the south east corner, and a crenellated parapet.^[4] There is a three-light west window under a pointed arch head, with a moulding. There are two-light belfry louvres with moulding.^[3]

The nave and aisles have three-light windows with stone mullions^[3] In the south wall of the chancel there are two two-light windows. The east window has four lights and Perpendicular-style tracery.^[1]

Interior and fittings

Internally, the tower measures 9 feet (2.7 m) by 10 feet (3.0 m).^[1] The nave measures 66 feet 9 inches (20.3 m) by 15 feet 6 inches (4.7 m) and is accessed from the tower through a high arch with chamfered orders.^[1]

There is a 19th-century reredos, now in the tower, that depicts the Annunciation. There is 17th-century octagonal baptismal font. Stained glass in the church includes work by Henry Holiday, Ballantine & Gardner and A. Seward & Co.^[4]

The Lanterns in the main church were recently updated to LED by Electrical & Building Solutions with the assistance of Saturn Lighting Bolton, which has enabled a great energy saving and increase in the quality of artificial light in the space without changing the look or feel of the main hall.
