No individual entry found for Hardraw or Hardow in the Domesday survey. Speight (1897) writes: "Within the township of High Abbotside are comprised the chapelries of Hardraw and Lunds, which were formerly separate, but since 1858 have been united. They were severed from the large parish of Askrigg about the year 1747, and it was in 1748-9 that the former primitive little church at Hardraw was built. There must, however, have been some kind of chapel at Hardraw before this date, as among the parish records is a paper stating that William Broderick was licensed by the Bishop of Chester to perform the office of curate in the chapel of Hardraw, in the parish of Aysgarth, assigning him the full salary and other perquisites belonging to the said chapel. The writing is dated at Chester, September 26th, 1743." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SD8673591270] notes a building of 1879-1881; it mentions no font in it but describes interior vestry elements of the 17th and 18th centuries; it makes no reference to an earlier church here. The Hardraw Parish Church Registers at the National Archives [ref.: PR/HAD [MIC 3894] [https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/9e1af5b7-3e15-4e18-b60b-9b11ba1edd58] [accessed 26 January 2020] have an entry for an "extract relating to licensing of John Thompson as curate in 1686", which would indicate the existence of a church at Hardraw before 1700. The present font is modern.
