King's Walden / Kings Walden / Waldenei

There is an entry for [King's] Walden [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL1623/kings-walden/] [accessed 5 October 2016]; it mentions a priest but not a church, though there probably was one there. The Victoria County History (Hertfordshire, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "The original church, dating from the late 11th or early 12th century, probably consisted of a nave and chancel only, now represented by the present walls of the nave, in which the nave arcades were inserted and the aisles added about 1190. The chancel as it now stands probably preserves the plan of that which was built in the 13th century, but has been very much altered. About 1380 the west tower was added, and in the 15th century the clearstory was made and the aisles were partially or wholly rebuilt. The north vestry, of brick, was built early in the 17th century, and the south porch is of the 19th century, when the walls of the whole church were refaced externally and the chancel and aisles were partly rebuilt"; there is no mention of a font in the VCH entry. Tompkins (1922) reports: "The font stands at the E. end of the S. aisle, formerly the chapel of the Virgin Mary." Described in Tyrrell-Green (1928) as the surviving basin of an old baptismal font from this church. There is no mention of a font in this church in the Englsih Heritage listing [Listing NGR: TL1602323507] (1968) either.
