The Church, dedicated to St. Mary Magdalen, stands at the north of the village; and consists of nave, side aisles, chancel and tower. Within the entrance porch, which is on the south, are a number of grotesque heads, considerably mutilated. At the south end of the church is placed a curious antique font, formed of the limestone common in the neighbourhood. The base, the shaft, and the basin, are all octagonal; and ornamented with sculptured figures of saints, cherubs, foliage, &c. A large circular arch divides the nave from the chancel: the latter has three windows; one at the east end, and one at each side. There are a few mural monuments in the church, to the memory of the Ellerker and Scurfield families. The pews were repaired in 1827; a handsome organ has recently been erected, and the church will accomodate 250 persons. Robert de Brus, in 1129, gave the churches of Hart and Stainton, with their chapels, to Guisborough priory; and Bishop Kellaw confirmed the grant. In the reign of Edward I., the vicarage of Hart was valued at £40; equivalent to nearly £500 in the money of the present day. The parish register commences in 1577. The living is a vicarage in the patronage of the crown, valued in the Liber Regis at £11 17s. 1d.; gross income £247. The glebe consists of about seventy-two acres, and the vicar is entitled to the tithes of certain farms called "the Three Thorps." Rev. William Gorst Harrison, M.A., vicar.
