There are six entries for this Hartwell [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP7912/hartwell/] [accessed 24 September 2015], none of which mentions cleric or church in it, except for "Wulmer the priest" who was lord of one of the parts in 1066, but not in 1086. Sheahan (1862) writes: "The Church, dedicated in honour of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, stands in the park, a short distance from the Mansion House, and is an elegant structure, re-erected in 1755 by the late Sir William Lee [...] The old church [...] had apparently been erected about the time of Richard III [i.e., 1483-1485] [...] The font is a vase of elegant form." [NB: we have no information on the font from the late-medieval church]
