St Bartholomew's Church, Butterton is a Grade II listed[1] parish church in the Church of England in Butterton.[2]
St Bartholomew's Church was redesigned by architect Ewan Christian and rebuilt in Butterton in 1871.[3] It has a tower with two bells.[4] The church is on the site of an earlier place of worship.[3] The church's spire, which was added in 1879, dominates the local landscape and is one of the newest spires in the Peak District.[4] Within the church there is a memorial plaque to Joseph Wood, Rowland Cantrill and William Hambleton, who all died trying to rescue Joseph Shenton from a disused mineshaft in 1842.[5]
