 The Pakish Church. 



The Parish Church of Chipping, dedicated to St. Bartholomew, is a 

 neat stone edifice ; the date of its foundation being about 1 04 1 . The 

 Church was partly rebuilt in 1520 ; was re-seated and altered in 1706 ; 

 and was thoroughly restored in 1868. 



It is believed that the original foundation of the old Chui-ch was 

 laid somewhere about a.d. 596. In the Church are three ancient holy- 

 water stoups. 



The feature of greatest interest in the Church is the font. " It was 

 probably erected," saj-s Whittaker, " in the time of Henry VIII. " ; 

 but the figures carved thereon are of much older date.
