Heckfield St Michael:

The church of St Michael is 13th Century Anglican. It served as the parish church for both Heckfield and Mattingley until 1863. The churchyard was closed to new burials in 1885. The parish records date from 1538. St Michael's can be found in Church Lane, Heckfield RG27

These photographs were taken October / November 2006 while I was on a course at the neighbouring Highfield Park.

These gravestones have been moved from their proper location and are currently standing against the church wall (2005).

Heckfield Cemetery:

   
Heckfield Cemetery has been open for burials since 1885. It is on land donated by the Lord of the Manor at the time. Referred to locally  as the 'New Cemetery'. The cemetery can be found on the B3349 almost opposite the entrance to Church Lane. There is a small lay-by with steps up to the cemetery entrance.

It is a very small cemetery and was accepting burials up to 2004 at least.

These photos were taken in July 2004 and June 2005.

The ground in the cemetery is very uneven and this is probably due to the removal of a number of gravestones. Some gravestones are leaning against the boundary fence of the cemetery close to the entrance.

The church of St Mary The Blessed Virgin dates back to 1320 and features massive timbers on the West wall and also inside the church. The pulpit dates back to about 1635. Inside are memorials to John Waspail (1448) and John Keate, Master of Eton and Rector (1852). The church serves a population of 300 in Hartley Wespall and Stratfield Turgis.

The date of this view of the church is unknown but little has changed since this view was painted. Compare to the photographs taken in 2006. The barn seen behind the church is there to this day. All photographs taken in June 2006.
