• Anglican. The parish church is located in OS Grid Square SX1569 and was dedicated to St Bartholomew. It is very small and very isolated. The village church was one of the few on the moors to have a spire, until in 1818 when it was struck by lightning. It comprised a chancel, nave and south aisle. The arcade consists of five four-centred arches, supported on monolith pillars of granite. The only entrance is by the south porch. The tower has two stages, and is finished with stump pinnacles. It now contains only one bell; to pay for the tower repairs in 1818, two of the three bells were sold. The interior of the church was restored in the 19th century.
