Hartley Mauditt is a former village in the East Hampshire district of the county, 2½ miles SE of Alton, the nearest town of any size. It now consists of the church and a few dwellings on the W side of the parish of Worldham. The church consists of a nave with a S porch and an octagonal shingled turret with a pointed spirelet over the W gable, and a chancel with a N vestry. The nave is 12thc and retains heavily restored round-headed lancets in the N and S walls, while the chancel has 13thc pointed lancets and a 19thc vestry. The exterior is rendered. The 12thc features described here are the S nave doorway and the chancel arch.

Hartley Mauditt was held by Gyrth from King Edward the Confessor in 1066, and by William Mauduit in 1086. It was assessed at 6 hides in Gyrth's time but only 2 in 1086. The manor remained in the possession of the Mauduit's until the death of William, Earl of Warwick in 1267, when it passed to William's nephew, William de Beauchamp, who also inherited the earldom (VCH). Later history is given in the VCH.

A similar cusped arch is found on a print of the lost W doorway of St Nicholas, Abingdon, and a more primitive version of the motif is found at West Hanney (Berks) on the N doorway.
