Harefield is also famous for its Anzac War Graves from WW1 - The Great War, located in the graveyard of St. Mary the Virgin, on Church Hill. Harefield Hospital was used to treat soldiers during the First World War, many of whom were Anzacs, which accounts for the large number of Anzac graves in the churchyard.
