OUR MISSION
We
are
a
local
church,
learning
and
growing
together,
rooted
in
God's
love
and
bound
up
with
the
life
of
our
community
in
all
sorts of everyday ways.
Our
mission
is
to
reach
the
community
with
God's
love
-
leading
people
towards
the
compassion
and
forgiveness
of
Christ,
and so to be found by Him and respond to His love through the life and worship of their Parish Church.
The
Parish
Church
of
All
Saints'
Hartford
was
originally
built
in
1180,
on
the
site
of
a
Roman
watch
tower,
in
its
picturesque
setting
on
the
banks
of
the
River
Ouse.
The
walls
are
of
pebble
and
stone
rubble
with
stone
dressings,
and
tiled
roofs.
Much
rebuilding
has
been
done
especially
in
1861
and
1895.
Christian
worship
in
the
village
can
be
traced
back
even
earlier
to
1086,
when
the
Domesday
Book
records
a
simple
wooden
church,
which
was
probably
situated
in
the
old
vicarage
garden.
A
further
extension was completed in 2003 to add reception and heating facilities at the church.
