Parish picture

Wartling, or as the Domesday book spells it, Werlingas, derives its name from the Old English for the "settlement of Wyrtel's people". At the time it was recorded in the 1086 survey it had a population of 280. The modern parish covers 3,287 acres.

The earliest parts of the present church, dedicated to St Mary Magdalene, date from the 13th century, although there was a chapel here before 1090. The north and south chancel walls and part of the west end date from this period.
