There are two entries for [South] Weald [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TQ5793/south-weald/] [accessed 15 May 2018], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. Noted in Pevsner (1976) and in the later edition with Bettley (2007): "Font. 1662, polygonal, with thick leaves sprouting up the stem." The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Essex, vol. 8, 1983) notes: "The ancient parish church, which was built by c. 1150, originally belonged to the manor of South Weald. Between 1244 and 1254 the bishop of London licensed Waltham abbey, to which the manor then belonged, to appropriate the rectory, and at the same time ordained a vicarage [...] partly rebuilt in 1868 [...] designed by S. S. Teulon [...] The polygonal font is dated 1662." [NB: we have no information on the earlier font of this church]. [NB: Bentley St Paul's and Warley Christ Church are both modern].
