The village is
proud of its church. Restoration work has already started on the interior.
The building, constructed of local stone, has exceptionally good
acoustics.
Worship is important to a small village, and we
have a vigorous following, including younger people. Already the church
has an active choir and a professional musician in charge. Concerts are
held in the church, a mini-festival of music is held in the summer with
visiting choirs, musicians and orchestras; these have helped to raise
funds towards the restoration of the church fabric. A New under-pew heating system makes the church much more comfortable in the winter. Replacing decayed flooring in the pews on the North isle is already underway and similar work planned for the opposing pews in the South isle, Although there is
still much to be done,
great progress has been made in the last few years with support from various generous grants. Restoration is a continuing process and continues
unabated.

The tower
and renovated SW window.
The Church was built in 1375.
Harlton is part of the 'Lords Bridge group
of Parishes' together with Haslingfield
and The Eversdens. Situated off the main road it is a delightful light
building with excellent acoustics. The living is currently vacant and
the parishes are seeking a new incumbent. The old Rectory in Harlton and Little Eversden are now
private houses but the Vicarage in Haslingfield is in use.
