Harlton Church









Properly called the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, this is a largely perpendicular church from the C14th, without a clerestory.  Inside, it is tall, with a basic wooden roof and two side aisles.  It is very austere, even worn.  The exception is the alabaster monument to Henry Fryer, who died in 1631. He is the one in the armour, with his father in the doctor's robes, and the memorial includes his mother and his step-mother.  There is a stone rood screen and only four stained glass windows, all in the chancel.  On the outside, there is a turret at the intersection of the chancel and the north aisle, but this does not show from the inside.
