6 BARTESTREE (C.d.)
(O.S. 6 in. (a)XXXIV, N.W.,(b)XXXIV, S.W.)
Bartestree is a very small parish 4 m. E.N.E. of Hereford.
Ecclesiastical
b(1). Chapel of St. James, on the W. side of the parish, was entirely re-built in 1887. It contains the following:—
Fitting—Plate: includes a paten of 1707.
b(2). Chapel, forming part of the Convent of Our Lady of Charity at the S. end of the parish, was formerly a private chapel at Old Longworth in the parish of Lugwardine. The building was long used as a barn but was restored in 1860 and removed and re-erected at the Convent in 1869–70; it now forms part of the convent-chapel. It was probably first built in the latter part of the 14th century, and an engraving in the Gent's Mag. of 1792 shows its appearance before restoration.
Architectural Description—The Chapel (40½ ft. by 16½ ft.) as re-erected stands S.S.W. and N.N.E. and has a S. window of three cinque-foiled lights with tracery in a segmental-pointed head. In the E. wall are four windows, each of two cinque-foiled lights with a quatrefoil in a two-centred head. The other walls have no ancient features. Re-set in the porch is a window of two trefoiled ogee lights in a square head.
The Roof is partly old and has three trusses with curved braces below the collars, and foiled wind-braces; the N. part of the roof is of trussed rafter type.
Fittings—Locker: In S. wall—recess with trefoiled ogee head. Piscina: In S. wall—recess with cinque-foiled ogee head and slot for shelf, drain modern.
Condition—Good, masonry mostly re-cut or renewed.
