Biographical history

A priest is first mentioned in the manor of Harefield in 1086. In the late 12th century the advowson was given to the Knights Hospitallers, although the Newdigate family later became patrons of the church. The church building has some medieval features, but was restored and altered in 1768 and again in 1841. During the First World War Harefield Park became an Australian hospital, and an Australian graveyard was established in the church grounds.
