No entry found for Hedgerley in the Domesday survey. The Lysons (1806-1833) note a round baptismal font decorated "with heads of animals, &c." here. In Rickman (1850): The font is circular, and enriched with shields and heads of animals." Ditto in Sheahan (1862). In Wilson's Gazetter (1870-1872). The RCAHM (Buckinghamshire, 1912- ) notes: "Font and Font cover: circular bowl, of limestone, with eight small carvings, including three heads, one of a bishop, shields, Tudor rose, etc., probably cut in 15th century on 12th-century bowl, stem and base of clunch, late 15th-century; cover, of wood, 17th-century." The Victoria County History (Buckingham, vol. 3, 1925) informs: "The font has a 12th-century circular bowl with a 15th-century stem and base. Upon the bowl have been carved, probably in the 15th century, eight small designs, including shields, heads (one of a bishop) and roses. There is a 17th-century cover of wood."
