2020 marks our Parish Centenary Year!

In 2008 we celebrated the centenary of the opening of our church. 2020 sees our parish celebrate another centenary.
 
From 1908, when the church first opened, until 1920 St. Bartholomew’s was a satellite parish administered by English Martyrs, Streatham.
 
In 1918 Father William Taunton moved from Streatham to Norbury, and 100 years ago, in 1920, St. Bartholomew’s became a canonically independent parish and he become our first Parish Priest.
 
We have updated and improved our page on the life and martyrdom of St. Bartholomew to mark the occasion. His feast day is celebrated on 24 August.
