St. Bartholomew's Church was a Church of England church. It was located in Nottingham, England, on Blue Bell Hill Road. This church served its community from 1902 until 1971.

The Church's Story

Building the Church

The plans for St. Bartholomew's Church were first drawn by a well-known architect, John Loughborough Pearson. After he passed away, his son, Frank Loughborough Pearson, finished the designs. A group called the Incorporated Church Building Society helped pay for the church to be built. They often provided money for new churches.

Forming a New Parish

In 1903, St. Bartholomew's became its own parish. A parish is a specific area that a church serves. This new parish was created from parts of two other local church areas: St. Ann's Church, Nottingham and St. Mary's Church, Nottingham.

The Church Organ

Inside the church, there was a large pipe organ. This organ had two keyboards, which are called manuals. It was built in 1887 by a company named Charles Lloyd and Co.

End of the Church

St. Bartholomew's Church was taken down in 1971.
