Kingsbury in Brent / Chingelberie

There are two entries for this Kingsbury [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TQ2088/kingsbury/] [accessed 5 December 2014], one of which, in the lordship of Arnulf of Hesdin, reports a priest and church lands in it. Gough (1792) writes: "In Kingsbury church, Middlesex, was 1751 a very ancient font like a rock on a pedestal". The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Middlesex, vol. 5, 1976) notes: "In 1086 a priest held a virgate in Kingsbury. [...] The church had been appropriated to the hospital of St. John of Jerusalem by c. 1244-8 [...] The small church is built of flint rubble and Roman bricks and tiles and consists of undivided nave and chancel, west turret, and short spire. The modified long-and-short work of the western quoins may be a Saxon feature but other evidence, including the position of the 12th-century doorway, suggests a post-Conquest date. [...] The font, a circular bowl with octagonal rim, is probably 13th-century. It has no drainage hole and may have been a domestic mortar. According to local tradition, it was thrown into a pond in 1840, whence it was rescued by the owner of Lewgars, who used it as a flower pot until he was persuaded, on his death in 1905, to restore it to the church. The pedestal is modern. [...] In 1884 a new parish church, Holy Innocents, was built and the old church of St. Andrew became its chapel of ease." The same source notes that a new font cover, designed by J.L. Pearson, was placed on it in 1933.
