The White Hart Pub, Hartlebury The pub is one of two in the village and is situated opposite St James' church and next to Hartlebury CE First School (soon to be Hartlebury Church of England Primary School). We waited for the tractor to come by to get a true rural picture but the car sneaked in at the last minute!
