No entry found for East Barnet in the Domesday survey. Hassell (1817) reports that the church "is without a font" [the earlier font having obviously disappeared from the church prior to his vist]. Noted in Pevsner & Cherry (1977): "Font. A classical vase, removed from the church in 1868." The Victoria County History (Hertfordshire, vol. 2, 1908) notes: "The church of OUR LADY preserves the greater part of an aisleless nave of the second quarter of the twelfth century, 40 ft. by 19 ft. within the walls, which are 3 ft. thick. The rest of the church, consisting of chancel with north vestry and organ chamber, large south aisle, south porch and tower, and west vestry, is modern […] The font is in the south aisle, and dates ftrom 1868, replacing one given in 1807 by the then rector, the Rev. Benjamin Underwood, which is now in the churchyard, and bears a memorial inscription to the children buried in the churchyard who have no ther record." [NB: we have no information of the font of the 12th-century church here].
