St Bartholomew's Church, Nettlebed

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of England parish of Saint Bartholomew was originally a chapelry of the adjacent parish of Benson. There is a record of the Empress Matilda giving the benefice of Benson, including chapels at Nettlebed and Warborough, to the Augustinian Abbey at nearby Dorchester, Oxfordshire in about AD 1140.

The Mediæval church building was replaced in 1845–46 by the present Gothic Revival brick building, designed by a member of the Hakewill family of architects. The only surviving part of the previous church is the lower stages of the brick west tower, which seems to be 18th-century.

The church has some 20th-century stained glass windows, including two made in 1970 by John Piper and Patrick Reyntiens. One is the chancel east window, in which a central tree of life is flanked by fish on one side and butterflies on the other. The other is the baptistery south window in the south aisle. This shows a tree of life with birds perching in it including an owl, a hawk and a pheasant.

The tower has a ring of six bells, all cast by Charles and George Mears of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 1846

Nettlebed Brick Kiln

Highlight • Historical Site

A totally amazing sight, this! This is a brick kiln, built in the late 17th or early 18th century. Nettlebed produced first tiles and then bricks from the medieval times until the 20th century.
