Project: Church redecoration and repair to St Bartholomew Church
Location: Wickham Bishops, Essex
Bakers carried out the ornate decoration of the church to St Bartholomew in Wickham Bishops.
St Bartholomew’s is Grade II listed and is a fine example of Victorian Gothic church architecture. The church was built in 1850 by Sarah Leigh in memory of her father, the Reverend. Thomas Leigh who was Rector from 1803 to 1843. The church was designed by Ewin Christian and is built of Kentish Ragstone and Caen stone. It replaces the redundant St Peter’s church to the west, over the disused railway line. The 120 foot high spire is a local landmark visible from the A12.
