There are also a number of interesting tombs. To members of the Lovell family on either side of the east window. To Anne, only child of Sir Robert Herling, on the north wall of the chancel > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1703037. To Sir Robert Herling (d 1435) at the east end of the south aisle > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1703041.

The most noteworthy feature of the church, however, is the magnificent east window > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1703014 which was donated to the church by Lady Anne Herling and her second husband, Sir Robert Wingfield, in around 1460. Removed for safety in Cromwell's time, the glass of this notable window was hidden in the attic of the since demolished East Harling Hall. When the manor was sold to Thomas Wright in 1736 he restored the glass to the church. It was removed once again during WWII and replaced and re-leaded in 1947.

View south along Bridgham Lane past West Harling Common. West Harling, a village in the Thet valley, was deserted in the first half of the 18th century. Originally part of a cluster of settlements which all had the name 'Herlinga' in 1086, three of these had become known as West Harling (with its church of All Saints'), Middle Harling (with St Andrew's church) and Harling Thorpe. Middle Harling became part of West Harling parish in 1543. With a new Lord of the Manor, Richard Gipps, the fate of the until then fairly prosperous villages changed: Gipps bought all the houses except for one small cottage and so had reduced the number of dwellings. Gipps' heirs closed the old road, and the foundations of the demolished church in Middle Harling were uprooted to build up a marshy ground. All Saints church today stands isolated, the Hall built by Gipps was demolished in 1931 and conifer plantations cover much of his estate. What remains is a bust in the church 1709354 placed there by his great-nephew.
