The late medieval rood screen is a notable example with richly carved cornice and vaulting.

Harberton was the home of Mary Ann Varder (1842–1922), who married Thomas Bridges on 7 August 1869 and moved with him in 1871 to Tierra del Fuego, the southern tip of Argentina, overlooking the Beagle Channel.
