Harting – St Mary and St Gabriel

The large cruciform church is mostly early 14th century, but there are signs of earlier work. A fire in 1576 was the cause of much rebuilding, including the roofs.

Though much altered, the east crossing arch suggests the core of the chancel is 13th century. The tower is largely rendered or tile-hung and most detail is 14th century or later, but a lancet at the north east angle may be a century older.

The effigy of the Cowper family. Early 17th century, but rearranged in 1795 and now consisting of a male and a female recumbent figures. The couple looks frozen.
