No entry found for Langley Marsh in the Domesday survey. The Lysons (1806-1833) mention an octagonal baptismal font decorated with quatrefoils here. Ditto Parker (1850). Strangely, not mentioned in Sheahan (1862). The Victoria County History (Buckingham, vol. 3, 1925) notes: "The church of Langley Marish was annexed as a chapelry to Wyrardisbury during the first half of the 12th century [...] The church dates from the 12th century, the nave having been erected in the first half and the north aisle added during the second half of that period [...] the whole fabric has been restored at a modern period [...] The font is octagonal and probably dates from the early 16th century; the sides of the bowl have enriched quatrefoil panels and the stem has a moulded base." Pevsner (1960) writes: "Font. Perp[endicular], octagonal, with leaves, a head, etc., in quatrefoils." According to the Parish web site [http://langleymarish.com/stm_files/Page436.htm] the font was moved to the north aisle in 1911.
