Chosen Hill is such a prominent hill that it inevitably has a long history. Iron Age hill fortification evidence is strong; the church probably started out as a wooden Anglo-Saxon affair but was replaced by this stone version in about 1175 AD. The south wall of St Bartholomew's church was rebuilt in the thirteenth century. It includes these occasional voussoirs (wedges) in it, which are Norman.
