The parish church of Hartland is a large, impressive building located in the hamlet of Stoke in North Devon. It is dedicated to St Nectan, a 6th century Celtic hermit. The first recorded building on the site was a collegiate church, served by twelve secular canons, founded in the 11th century.

The current church is believed to date from 1360. Less than a mile from the coast, the 128 ft tower, claimed to be the highest in Devon, has long been a landmark for sailors at sea.

The large churchyard has been methodically mapped and collated by two local ladies.
