CONTEXT
Administrative/Biographical history:
The parish of Harlington is mentioned as early as the Domesday Survey, but the present church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul dates in part from the twelfth century. Subsequent centuries saw additions and alterations to its structure, including the erection of a number of interesting monuments. In the churchyard there is the remnant of a giant yew tree which was annually (until 1825) clipped into different shapes. The church served neighbouring Dawley until a separate parish was created in 1935.
