Hartwell is a village in central Buckinghamshire, England. It is to the south of Aylesbury, by the village of Stone. The village name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means "spring frequented by deer". In the Domesday Book of 1086 it was recorded as ''Herdeuuelle'' and ''Herdewelle''. The ruined Hartwell church was designed by the architect Henry Keene and completed in 1756. It is one of the most important early Gothic revival churches in England and is Grade II * listed. It has an octagonal centre with twin towers. In the north and south bays are rose windows, other windows are represented as ogee arches. In the clerestory are quatrefoil windows. Inside, the church once had a plaster fan vault but this has now fallen in, and the church's windows are boarded. Today the building appears more as a garden folly, than a former place of worship. Attached to the estate is the former hamlet of Lower Hartwell. ==Hartwell House== (詳細はlisted building in a 90-acre park, part of the Hartwell Estate owned by the Ernest Cook Trust.〔(The Ernest Cook Trust )〕 The house was once the residence of the exiled future king of France Louis XVIII.
