St Bartholomew's Church is a redundant Anglican church in the former village of Furtho, Northamptonshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building,[2] and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[3] A former medieval village, it became deserted following enclosures that began in the early 16th century and were completed by Thomas Furtho in the 1570s.[1] All that remains in the vicinity of the church is a farm and a dovecote.[3]
