The church of St Peter consists of a chancel, nave,
north
aisle, west tower and south porch. The walls are chiefly of
rubble
with stone dressings, but those of the chancel are largely
refaced
with brick. The roofs are of tiles and slates.

Although not specifically mentioned in the Domesday survey, the
church is without doubt one of the two churches recorded under the
manor of Hartford. Of this building, however, nothing remains; the
earliest part of the present church is the south wall of the nave
-probably of the 13th century - and the north and east walls of the
chancel dating from late in the same century. In the 14th century,
a north aisle was built, the nave walls were raised and a clear
story added. The south wall of the chancel was rebuilt early in the
15th century and a little later the west tower was built. The porch
was built early in the 16th century. The church was restored again
about 1851.
If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I
would just ask that you could let
Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church
numbers and names to avoid duplication
