The nave and chancel

St Bartholomew's Church was redesigned by architect Ewan Christian and rebuilt in Butterton in 1871. [3] It has a tower with two bells. [4] The church is on the site of an earlier place of worship. [3] The church's spire, which was added in 1879, dominates the local landscape and is one of the newest spires in the Peak District. [4] Within the church there is a memorial plaque to Joseph Wood, Rowland Cantrill and William Hambleton, who all died trying to rescue Joseph Shenton from a disused mineshaft in 1842. [5]

Organ

The church has an organ which originally was built by William Hill in 1846. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register, [6] and its historic value has been recognised with the award of an Historic Organ Certificate by the British Institute of Organ Studies.
