view of church interior - tower - detail
Scene Description: Source caption: "Inside the little round-towered church of St Mary at Bartlow are the remains of three 15th-century wall paintings. On the south wall are St Michael weighing souls and St Christopher ferrying the Christ Child; on the north side St George did battle with the Dragon. Over the years St George has been obliterated but his fearsome and tremendous adversary remains, still breathing fire and suffering only the minor indignity of having one corner of a memorial to Sophia Johnson pinned to his flank."

No individual entry found for Bartlow in the Domesday survey. Cox & Harvey (1907) list a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period here. The entry for this church in English Heritage [Listing NGR: TL5859945184] (1967) notes: " Font, C13, octagonal bowl on octagonal stem and base." The Victoria County History (Cambridge..., vol. 6, 1978) notes: "In spite of the belief that Bartlow church was built by King Cnut near the site of the battle of Ashingdon (Assandun) in the early 11th century, [...] no documentary references to the church have been found earlier than the 13th century, and the building dates from the late 11th or early 12th. [...] circular west tower, one of the two such towers in Cambridgeshire. The tower is apparently all that survives of the late-11th- or early-12th-century church, the west window being inserted in the earlier 14th century;" no font mentioned in the VCH entry. [NB: we have no information on the original font of this church]
