Work began back in 1842 when it was decided by the Parish of Mancetter Vestry that a Parish Church was necessary within Hartshill which, at that time, had a population of around 1000 villagers.
Quickly, the local community raised £650 to start the build and, when Mr. Richard Jee agreed to donate the stone needed, work was soon under way!
Sadly mid way through the build construction halted and part of the base structure had tumbled. With dwindling funds the build was looking dire... until Rev H.E. Lowe paid a visit to some friends in nearby Atherstone and graciously donated enough money to complete the build.
The first Holy Communion Service was held on Sunday 30th April 1848 by the Vicar of Mancetter, as Hartshill's first Vicar, Rev. W.J. Edge had not yet been appointed. The Consecration Service took place at the end of June.
In 2012, Hartshill Community Centre opened on the site of the former Church Hall. The Community Centre is a thriving multi-purpose resource that provides a wide range of services, activities and a meeting place for people of all ages and is available for hire. It is under the management of Hartshill Parish Council, see http://hartshill.parishcouncil.net/
