Hart - Mary Magdalene

Hart - Mary Magdalene
The existence of a wooden church on the current site can be dated as far back as 675.

Robert de Brus I gained control of the area in around 1119. In the late 1100s the de Brus family build the manor house and chapel. The chapel remains as the basis of the St Mary Magdalene Church, which has undergone significant modification since it was built,.

In 1596 Ellen Thompson was condemned as a witch and buried under the stile of St Mary Magdalene church at the east entrance to the churchyard. Another woman, known as Old Mother Midnight of Elwick, may have been buried in the same place in 1641.
