Hartwell

Hartwell

.

The village name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'spring frequented by deer'. In the Domesday Book of 1086 it was recorded as "Hertewelle".

The ruined Hartwell church was designed by the architect Henry Keene and completed in 1756. It is one of the most important early Gothic revival churches in England and is Grade II* listed. It has an octagonal centre with twin towers. In the north and south bays are rose windows, other windows are represented as ogee arches. In the clerestory are quatrefoil windows. Inside the church once had a plaster fan vault this has now fallen in, and the church's windows are boarded. Today the building appears more as a garden folly, than a former place of worship, to the close by Hartwell House.
