Hartley Through the Ages was written in 1927 by the then Rector of Hartley, Gerard W Bancks. He was rector of Hartley from 1902 until his death in 1934 and greatly loved the village. His book is monumental achievement and is an invaluable source of information on Hartley's history. Although modern discoveries have made some areas of the book out of date.
