Anglican Church of Saint-Bartholomew
The only purely Anglican building in the west of France, the building was made possible thanks to the donation of the land by Mr. William Faber, and the generosity of many people including William Faber and Sir Philip Egerton. The orientation of the choir, to the east, was favoured to the detriment of a monumental entrance on the south side. The original building refers to the Anglo-Norman ogival style. However, its Latin cross plan, its granite rubble, its partly uncovered gables and its south porch are reminiscent of a Breton chapel. Saint Bartholomew's church boasts several particularly illustrious visitors who have come to pray within its walls: Agatha Christie, Edward VII, Lawrence of Arabia.
About this building
The church is a two-vessel building with an exposed frame in English Gothic style, with a south side chapel and a porch to the south as well. The many stained glass windows, wood panelling, numerous embroidered cushions and carpets give it a very warm tone. The church also has a library.
