St Bartholomew's Church is in the town of Colne in Lancashire, England.
[1] A church has existed on the site from no later than the 12th century and was possibly founded by Robert de Lacy.
In the latter restoration the north aisle was removed and replaced by a double aisle, an organ chamber and vestries were added, the church was reseated, and screens, choir stalls, a pulpit and an altar were added; this restoration cost nearly £7,000 (equivalent to £970,000 in 2023).
The Grade I listing is for buildings "of exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important".
[3][4] Its plan consists of a nave with a south and a double north aisle, a chancel, chapels to the north and south of the chancel, vestries, an organ chamber and a tower to the west.
[3] The porch to the south has a niche in its gable, and a sundial in place of a finial.
[3] The north and south arcades have four bays; the north has round piers with moulded bases and capitals and the south has octagonal columns, also with moulded bases and capitals.
[1][3] There is an inner and an outer aisle to the north, separated from each other by an arcade of four pointed arches and octagonal piers.
[4] Its arcades to the north and south have octagonal piers and three pointed arches of two chamfered orders.
