Introduction to parish

The building of St Bartholomew's is itself a powerful statement of the presence of the Church in the community. It has an active and busy congregation of a wide variety of ages and ethnicities, and a church school which is an important part of parish life. Our worship and teaching are of a liberal catholic style. We have a tradition of music here (Sir George Grove lived in the parish) which has currently produced the Orchestra of St Bartholomew's, composed of local musicians from London's leading orchestras. In partnership with the local authority and CUF we are developing youth work in the crypt.
