There are two parish churches in the Hampshire village of Hartley Wintney; one is a late Victorian building dedicated to St John the Evangelist. The other, standing on the hillside above St John's, is St Mary's, a 13th century church, now rendered redundant, and in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. St Mary's is thought to have been built for the nuns of long-vanished Wintney Priory.
