St. Bartholemew's Church, Moreton Corbet, was begun about 1150 AD.
The tower was built in 1539, but only two stories. The third story was
added in 1769.

The Church and the Rectory.

The ruined castle on the left, built in the 12th Century, and the remains
of the Manor House, on the right, built between 1578 and 1606.

The Church through the Castle Gate.

The view from the pulpit.

Above the altar is a canopy on which may be seen the full quarterlings
of the Corbet arms;
these quarterlings are derived from the many heraldic heiresses who were
married by the Corbets.

A tomb in the memory of Sir Richard Corbet and his wife, Elizabeth Verdon;
their family of 3 sons and 5 daughters are shown on the sides with angels.

The West Window, in memory of Augusta Rachel Corbet who died in 1838.
