History

St Bartholomew's Church was redesigned by architect Ewan Christian and rebuilt in Butterton in 1871.{{cite web |last1=Cooper |first1=J. |last2=Dodson |first2=J. |last3=Stewak |first3=S. |last4=Wilson |first4=M. |date=2010 |title=Butterton |url=http://www.peakdistrictonline.co.uk/butterton-c115.html |publisher=Peak District Online |accessdate=24 April 2017}} It has a tower with two bells.{{cite web |last=Harbach |first=Mike |date=2003 |title=Butterton |publisher=Genuki |url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/STS/Butterton/index.html |accessdate=24 April 2017}} The church is on the site of an earlier place of worship. The church's spire, which was added in 1879, dominates the local landscape and is one of the newest spires in the Peak District. 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.{{cite web |last=Mursell |first=G. |date=2008 |title=St Bartholomew's Church, Butterton|accessdate=28 February 2010 |url=http://www.lichfield.anglican.org/DynamicContent/Documents/pp_alstonefield.pdf}}{{dead link|date=April 2017}}
