St Bartholomew's Church

St Bartholomew's Church is a redundant Anglican church in the former village of Furtho, Northamptonshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. A former medieval village, it became deserted following enclosures that began in the early 16th century and were completed by Thomas Furtho in the 1570s. All that remains in the vicinity of the church is a farm and a dovecote.
The church dates from the 12th century, with additions and alterations in the 14th century. It was substantially rebuilt in about 1620 and was restored in 1870. It ceased to be a parish church in 1920. During the Second World War the church was used for storage of the archives of the Northampton Record Society, and during that time all the windows were destroyed by a bomb. The church was declared redundant on 16 May 1989, and was vested in the Churches Conservation Trust on 7 June 1990.
