St. Bartholomew's Church, Nottingham was a Church of England church located in Nottingham. It stood on Blue Bell Hill Road for many years. The church was active from 1902 until 1971.
Building the Church: A Family Design
The plans for St. Bartholomew's Church were first drawn up by a famous architect named John Loughborough Pearson. Sadly, he passed away before the church was finished. His son, Frank Loughborough Pearson, then took over and completed the design.
The church was built with help from the Incorporated Church Building Society. This group provided money to help construct new churches.
In 1903, St. Bartholomew's became its own parish. This meant it had its own local area and community to serve. Before this, its area was part of the parishes of St. Ann's Church, Nottingham and St. Mary's Church, Nottingham.
The Church Organ
Inside the church, there was a large pipe organ. It had two keyboards, which are called "manuals" in organ terms. This organ was made by a company called Charles Lloyd and Co. It was installed in the church in 1887.
Why the Church Closed
After serving the community for many years, St. Bartholomew's Church was eventually taken down. The building was demolished in 1971.
