St Bartholomew’s
The 18th-century church of St Bartholomew’s stands in a prominent position within the Church of England parish of Tardebigge.
The site, between the towns of Bromsgrove and Redditch in north-east Worcestershire, is thought to have been a place of worship for centuries.
Tardebigge is also well-known as an area of historical interest from its associations with the Worcester and Birmingham Canal and the former Hewell Grange estate.

It’s three miles south of St Bartholomew’s, on a quiet country lane surrounded by open fields.
