Over the years St Bartholomew’s has kept in touch with the parish & local community in a number of ways – a popular method being the parish magazine, as used by many churches.

These have started and stopped as incumbents came and went, and according to the needs of the parish, so as a result the magazines were released under a number of different names with different formats & focuses.

Below is a listing of all the parish magazines we have on file, with links to view each issue where available.
