Lower Sapey is a village in Worcestershire, in the county's Doddingtree Hundred.[1]

Old St Bartholomew's Church in Lower Sapey, now deconsecrated, is a remarkable Norman church, little changed since it was built.[2] It is built in a very simple in form, with an oak porch around a Norman doorway. The floor is unpaved and made of clay and gravel. Most decorative fittings were stripped when the new parish church was built in the Victorian era: the new St Bartholomew's.
