A thought about our parish history.....

The cine footage below is of the First Mass of Father Gerald Coates at St. Bartholomew’s on Trinity Sunday, 13 June 1954 - there is no sound. Canon Coates passed away on 10 October 2017. Requiescat in pace.
How much do you know or recall about the history of St. Bartholomew’s, or the priests that have served the parish since its inception? Are you able to add anything to our knowledge? Do you have any memories, or old photographs, or maybe even cine film footage? We’d love you to get in touch with us if you have!

May is the month of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Our Lady has long been associated with the beauty of flowers and the coming of spring. This is fitting because she is both beautiful and the Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the life of the world. In May, the Church remembers our glorious lady with crownings and processions in her honour.

Accessibility - St. Bartholomew's does its utmost to accommodate those with additional needs. Whilst the main body of the church is wholly accessible to people with mobility disabilities, the choir gallery is both approached by stairs and the seating is then stepped by design. The church has a wheelchair-accessible toilet, and baby-changing facilities. There is a Loop System (AFIL) in place in the church.
