There are two entries for Harborough [Magna and Parva] [variant spelling in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/XX0000/harborough-magna-and-parva/] [accessed 27 January 2015], one of which, in the lordship of Ansegis of Newnham at the time, mentions a priest, but not a church in it, though there probably was one there. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 6, 1951) notes: "There was a priest here in 1086, on the estate of Anseis [...] and the first recorded presentation in 1305 was made by John de Langley, [...] There is no visible evidence of a church earlier than the 14th century, to which date the present tower, north aisle, north and south arcades, and the chancel arch belong. During the 19th century the chancel and south aisle were entirely rebuilt, a clearstory and vestry were added, the internal stonework redressed, and a west doorway inserted. [...] The pulpit, placed on the north side of the chancel arch, is modern, as is the stone octagonal font." English Heritage [Listing NGR: SP4766279249] (1960) reports a "C19 Perpendicular style font in nave" here.
