The fifteenth century tower is all that remains of the original Harbridge Church.
The nave and the chancel were completely rebuilt in 1838 at the expense of the Earl of Normanton, owner of nearby Somerley House. This was done in the traditional style, reusing some of the original stonework.
The bells are three in number, all by Thomas Mears, 1839.
The plate consists of a silver chalice, paten and paten cover, undated, a flagon of 1754 and a silvergilt paten of 1869.
The registers are in four books: the first has burials 1571 to 1720, marriages 1616 to 1717, and baptisms 1679 to 1719, but they are incomplete. There is a gap in the baptisms 1682 to 1695, and from 1696 to 1719 they are irregular. There are gaps in the burials 1635 to 1654 and in marriages 1644 to 1654 and 1657 to 1713. The second book has baptisms and burials 1720 to 1792, the third marriages 1754 to 1812, and the fourth baptisms and burials 1792 to 1812.
This cache is placed with the kind permission of the Reverend Jenny Alidina.
A straight forward cache.
The cache is not within the churchyard! Wheelchair users may need a hand for the final grab.
If anybody would like to expand this series please do, but please would you let Sadexploration know first so that he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication
