The Church of St Edward dates from the early 13th century, with alterations in the 15th, 16th, 18th and late 19th centuries. There are a number of interesting brass and stone monuments inside. The building forms a group with the Manor House and the Rectory, which are also listed.<ref>Church of St Edward [https://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101091850-church-of-st-edward-hawling#.WsjnT9TFKpc Retrieved 7 April 2018.]</ref>

The Manor House dates back to the Elizabethan era, and Elizabeth I was rumoured to have stayed there. The Manor was the residence of Mrs Dent-Brocklehurst, the mother in law and grandmother of Sudeley Castle's current owners. She was the mother of Mark Dent-Brocklehurst. The Manor along with the Rectory, Manor Barn and many more are open every Red cross day for Gardens.

==Notable person== About 1646, the prolific writer and translator Clement Barksdale found refuge in Hawling from the English Civil War, taught at a private school there, and became Rector in 1650.<ref>John Coffey: Barksdale, Clement, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' (Oxford, UK: OUP, 2004) Pay-walled, retrieved 7 April 2018.]</ref>
