Bartlow is a picturesque village and parish in South Cambridgeshire, about 12 miles southeast of Cambridge and seven miles west of Haverhill in Suffolk.  It is surrounded by plenty of open farmland and woodland ideal for long walks and cycling.  It is one of the smallest parishes in the county at only 370 acres.  According to the 2001 census it had a population of 102.

Bartlow St Mary is one of only two existing round-tower churches in Cambridgeshire.  It was partially restored in 1879 and consists of chancel, nave, north porch and circular embattled western tower containing 3 bells.  In 1927 a fresco of 1450 A.D. picturing St Michael was discovered on the south wall. The register dates from the year 1573.   

Bartlow is also home to the Bartlow Hills (scheduled ancient monument), a Roman Tumuli cemetery with three remaining mounds; originally there were seven.  The hills were the largest group of Roman Barrows in northern Europe and include the highest burial mound in Britain.   They contained a wonderful collection of artistic objects including an iron folding chair, the remains of flowers, box leaves, a sponge, incense and liquids including blood, milk and wine mixed with honey!  The surviving mounds became overgrown before they were taken into guardianship by Essex County Council in 1978.  The scrub was cleared and fences built for protection.  The hills passed to the Cambridgeshire County Council in 1990 after a change in the County boundary.
