St. Mary's of Bartlow, is dedicated to St. Mary and located near the Bartlow Hills; a Roman tumuli cemetery with 4 (of 7) remaining mounds. The present parish church consists of a chancel, a nave with north porch, and a circular west tower. The tower is all that remains of what is believed to be the original church and dates from the late-11th or early-12th century, while the nave and chancel were built in the 14th century. There are 3 bells in the tower, all cast by William Chamberlain in 1440 and still hang in their original frame, though they cannot all be rung together due to frame being unsafe. St. Mary's was heavily restored in 1879 but in the chancel, there are bits of medieval glass surviving in the tops of the window, and the common rail is 17th century. The church is also known for its 15th-century wall-paintings whose fragments include depictions of St. Christopher, St. Michael weighing souls, and St. George's dragon.
