Rawes survey:
Like the BMSGH survey the present transcription records every inscription in the church, whether a fine old memorial or a bookplate in a book. Particular attention has been paid to the windows which have been numbered, described and photographed. Any observable inscription has been recorded in full. Except the ledgers known to exist beneath the floor of the nave and also the ledgers that are thought to exist under the floor of the chancel. Information relating to the individual's family has also upon occasion been added.
Julian Rawes, Crooked Walls, 1922.

BMSGH survey:

In 1989 Mrs L.C. Bushell and Mr G.R. Farmer, from the Birmingham and Midland Society for Genealogy and Heraldry (BMSGH), recorded the memorials in the church, old churchyard and burial ground. Their work has not in the main been replicated here as it almost entirely duplicates the present survey. The standard of their work is very good and has been of great help, in particular with the recording of the floor ledgers which are now covered. Their manuscript is to be found on the open shelves in Worcestershire Record Office.

a: Windows: twelve in all. b: Memorials on floor: ledgers. c: Memorials on walls: in stone and wood. d: Wall hangings: in stone and wood.

e: Bits and pieces: inscriptions etc. f: Plaques on Chairs: dedications etc. e: Bookplates in Books: donations etc.

WINDOWS
There are twelve windows in the church, the most notable being the large east window, which was inserted during the restoration of the church in 1855 under the then rector Winnington Ingram. It apparently replaced a medieval window and was designed and was created by Frederick Preedy, a local and esteemed architect. The reredos and flooring should probably also be attributed to him. The oldest window is the small lancet in the tower. Norgrove Studio, stain-glass makers and restorers, cleaned all the windows in 2008.
Window a01:           the Great East Window.
No inscription Background information. We are most fortunate to have a Preedy window dating from 1855 and it is believed to have replaced a medieval-glass window. The window was designed by local architect and glass painter Frederick Preedy, 1820-1898. His windows are considered of fine workmanship and much admired, he designed a number of stained glass windows in the area, notably in Fladbury Church. The window was taken out to be cleaned and restored in 2008 by Norgrove Studios.
Windows a2-7:           six lancet windows in the chancel three on either side with no inscriptions.
Window a08:           stained-glass window in two panels, one dedicated to St John, the other to St James the Great. On the south wall.
Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God Jesus said I am the Good Shepherd Be not afraid Only believe THIS WINDOW IS ERECTED TO THE GLORY OF GOD BY SOPHIA MARY WINNINGTON-INGRAM AND IN LOVING MEMORY OF HER HUSBAND THE REVD ARTHUR HENRY WINNINGTON-INGRAM M.A. RECTOR OF THIS PARISH FROM 1845 TO 1887 ALSO OF THEIR BELOVED DAUGHTER FLORENCE MARY WHO DIED JANUARY 30TH 1881 AGED 22 YEARS Background information. The window was cleaned about 2010.
Window a09:           stained-glass window in two panels, one dedicated to St John, the other to St James the Great. On the north wall.

Windows a10 & 11:           two tall windows in the nave one on either side with no inscriptions.
Windows a12 & 13:           a small possibly medieval stained-glass window in the tower with no inscriptions. This was removed and cleaned in 2008 by Norgrove Studios.
FLOOR MEMORIALS
There were apparently three or more floor ledgers in the chancel prior to the restoration of the church in the 1850s. When the chancel floor was replaced, probably by Preedy in the early 1850s (See under Prattinton), the three or more ledgers that are believed to have been visible were either covered over or destroyed. The six floor ledgers in the nave are still in situ under the carpet and a raised wooden floor. Fortunately members of the Birmingham Family History Society carried out a comprehensive survey of Harvington Church memorials in 1989 including the recording of the floor ledgers in the nave. It is their survey that has been used here as a base although additions have been made from Nash and Prattinton (see Prattinton image 18). Nash:- Mary the widow of Mr Moses Hodges, of Selgrave, in the county of Northampton, was here interred, April 29, 1704, see below. Eleanor the daughter of Moses Hodges, D.D. died April 18th, 1707, aged eight months. - believed to be a floor memorial once in the chancel. Hic tumulat Maria, uxor una cum filia, Stephani Bradeley clerici, quË de hac vita emigravit, Aug. 10, 1682. - believed to be once in the chancel. In the body of the church several of the Harwards are interred under flat stones, see under floor memorials. Prattinton:- Revd Moses Hodges. Thomas Feriman senior - see under wall memorials. Thomas Feriman junior - see under wall memorials. John Hodges, wall memorial but possibly once set into the chancel floor. Mary Ramell - see under wall memorials.

This memorial memorial was in existence in 1812 (see Prattinton image 21) and Judging by the size of the epitaph it was of a substantial size. If it was a floor ledger then it would have eithe3r been covered over or removed when the chancel floor was replaced. The memorial had an escutcheon: "Of the first two crescents of the second & chief one and in base. Crest on a wreath a goats head (in bronze) erased langued gules; gorged with ducal coronet or.

BITS AND PIECES
This group contains miscellaneous items such as candle sticks, plaques and information on various items in the church.
Bits & pieces e001:           framed information about church coffer.
This chest was made in the early 17th century in response to an Order (or Canon) of 1603 which required every church in the country to provide "one sure coffer with three locks and keys whereof the one to remain with the minister and the other with the churchwardens". This was designed to ensure the safety of the parish register(s), the keeping of which had become law in 1563, one of the Reform measures introduced by Queen Elizabeth I in the early years of her reign - the smaller one on the left, with one lock for the Rector's use, the larger one with two locks for the churchwardens. Each compartment could be opened independently of the other, so both parties could have access to their section, but a narrow long box which runs along the back of the chest just underneath the lid, and which contained the actual register, required all three keyholders to be present before it could be opened. From this we can conclude what importance was attached to the maintaining and safe-keeping of the register which was filled in by the Rector every Sunday in the presence of the churchwardens. Harvington is fortunate that many of its old registers still exist, together with a substantial collection of other documents, though they are now housed, for safety, in the County Records Office in Worcester. The coffer is divided into two compartments Background information.
