St Bartholomew's Church Lostwithiel

St Bartholomew's Church Lostwithiel A page to promote the Christian gospel in the heart of Lostwithiel. A place to highlight special events and services. A place to meet.

It is a Grade I listed building.[1] It includes a tower from the thirteenth century, a spire added in the early fourteenth century, and an octagonal screen around its foot, with former windows on four of its eight sides. Its magnificent spire is the outstanding feature of this sizable town church. The north side has a St Catherine's Wheel. Unusually for a Cornish church there is a clerestory above

the nave. There are some fine monuments of Georgian period and a brass of 1423.[2]
The church itself is mainly fourteenth century. The east window of five lights is one of the most notable in Cornwall, of the same date as the spire. The early fourteenth century font is outstanding, with carved figures of a huntsman and hawk, a head with leaves sprouting from its mouth, an evil face, a wolf and hounds, and lions.

The Friends of St Bartholomew's Committee are delighted to report that the preliminary result of our August 2026 charity shop sale has raised a total of just over £8000. The funds will be used for repairs to the fabric of St Bartholomew's church. A big 'thankyou' to all those who volunteered, helped, donated, browsed, bought or supported us in any way, it would not have been possible without you.
