A Glimpse into Hartley Mauditt's Past
The name "Hartley" originates from the Old English "Herlege," meaning a woodland clearing frequented by stags, indicative of the area's verdant landscapes. The "Mauditt" suffix was added in the 13th century, derived from the de Mauditt family who held the manor during that period.
Documented in the Domesday Book, Hartley Mauditt was granted to William de Maldoit by William the Conqueror. The village once thrived but experienced decline after the manor house was demolished in 1798. Today, remnants like the foundations of the manor and the serene Hartley Pond remain, with the 12th-century St Leonard's Church standing as a focal point.
St Leonard's Church: A Historical Edifice
Constructed between 1100 and 1125, St Leonard's Church showcases Norman architectural elements. Notable features include a horseshoe-shaped chancel arch, a 12th-century south doorway, and 15th-century decorative tiles. The church underwent restoration in the mid-19th century, preserving its historical integrity.
