St Bartholomew

Dear Virtual Church Visitor,

We are pleased to be celebrating the 150th anniversary of the church. 

2025 is the 150th Anniversary of the opening of St Bartholomew’s, Barbrook. St Bartholomew's was built in 1875 to provide an alternative place of worship to the Wesleyan chapel, for the people of Barbrook Mill, a community built around the sawmill. It was built as a "Mission" Church of St Mary the Virgin, Lynton.

There are no regular weekly services at St Bartholomew though services are held for significant annual events in the church calendar. Parishioners are welcome to join services at other churches in the Lyn Mission Community.


You can find the latest Mission Community Newsletter in the News and Notices menu under Notice Sheets.
