Description & details The church of St. Mary at Hartley Wespall dates from the fourteenth century but was restored in 1868-69. The timber-work of the church is mostly concealed by the flint walling, but the huge cusped beams have been left exposed in the exterior west wall. The timbers form an enormous lozenge shape with an upright post in the centre, and the visual impact of this unique feature is quite breathtaking. The roof-timbers visible in the gable-end are smaller in scale but still very impressive.
