Great Wymondley / Much Wymondley / Wimundelai / Wilmundele / Wimley / Wimundeslai

There are four entries for [Great and Little] Wymondley [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/XX0000/great-and-little-wymondley/] [accessed 19 October 2016], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Hertford, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "The church of Great Wymondley seems to have been originally a chapel to Hitchin. [...] In 1199 it was the subject of a suit between Reginald de Argentein and the Abbess of Elstow. [...] The church consists of a chancel, nave, west tower, north vestry and south porch. The first two are of the 12th century, the west tower was built in the 15th century and the vestry and porch are modern. In 1883–4 the building was restored throughout and the stonework to a great extent renewed [...] The font, which is octagonal and quite plain, is of the late 15th or early 16th century." Tompkins (1922) lists a Norman font here. No mention of it in Pevsner & Cherry (1977). The entry for this church in English Heritage [Listing NGR: TL2147528530] (1968) reports: "Plain stone font probably C15 with flared octagonal bowl, chamfered offset to fat octagonal shaft on hollow-moulded base and octagonal step. Oak C19 cover with vigorous ironwork of Romanesque/Arts and Crafts style."
