There is an entry for Warlingham in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TQ3558/warlingham/] [accessed 28 March 2016]; it reports a church in it. Allen (1831) notes that the church was valued in the 1292 (?) rating; the font: "The font is an octagon basin, of white stone; in each face is a quatrefoil, and in the centre of one of them is a rude head. It stands on a small octagon pillar." Described in Brayley (1850): "The font is an octagonal basin, of white stone, on an octagonal pillar and basement: on each side of the font is a quatrefoil; and in the centre of the eastern face is a rudely-carved head." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period. The Victoria County History (Surrey, vol. 4, 1912) notes: "William de Watevile in 1158 gave the advowson of the church of Chelsham and that of Warlingham to the priory of Bermondsey. [...] The present building is of about 1240", with alterations and additions made mainly in the 19th century; it shows an interior plan of the church as it was before the 1893 enlargement and restoration, which shows the font located at the west end of the nave, south side, beneath the bell tower. The VCH (ibid.) adds: "The font is octagonal (c. 1450), the sides of the bowl being ornamented with sunk quatrefoils, within one of which is a grotesque head." [NB: we have no information on the earlier font of this church]
