Background
Description
The church gained national significance in the 1830s and 1840s due to its association with the Oxford Movement (or Tractarianism). In 1833, Henry Edward Manning became the Rector of Lavington-with-Graffham following his marriage to Caroline Sargent, the daughter of the previous incumbent. During his tenure, Manning became a leading figure in the High Church movement, which sought to restore traditional Catholic liturgy and theology within the Anglican communion. Under his leadership, the parish became a focal point for these ecclesiastical changes.
