St. Margaret's Church is a small parish church located south of the village of Harpsden. The exterior is flint and stone with a tiled roof. Although built in the 12th century, the only visible sculptures from that date are the round-headed on the south nave doorway; the round-headed piscina in the south chancel wall and the cared tub font in the nave west end. According to British History Online, the church was originally called St. Peter's, but after the sixteenth century, the name was changed to St. Margaret's. A waist-high red brick and stone wall guards the front of the well-kept churchyard and old cemetery. Using the same name, an extension of the cemetery is located a short distant down the road from the church toward the village, and all grave sites are recorded together on Find A Grave with "extension" noted on the memorial, if known.
