Welcome to the website of St
Bartholomew’s, Whittingham & Edlingham with Bolton
Chapel the fourth church in the parish,
St Peter's, Glanton, was sadly destroyed by fire on 11 March 2005. Services now take
place at the United Reformed Church in the village by kind permission of
the minister and elders of the church.
This website is provided for the benefit
of those planning to visit the area, or who have recently moved into the
locality, and are looking to attend a place of worship and become part of
the worshipping community.
St Bartholomew’s and its sister churches
are part of the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle providing Eucharistic and
alternative forms of worship on a weekly basis.
The church communities are involved with
local organisations and voluntary groups, and although relatively small in
number, seek to offer Christian witness within the community and recognise
the presence of God at work in the lives of all.
‘In Christ the whole structure is joined
together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are
built together spiritually into a dwelling place for God’ (Ephesians
2:21,22)!
