There are four entries for Redbourn [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL1012/redbourn/] [accessed 27 September 2016], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Hertfordshire, vol. 2, 1908) notes: "The church of Redbourn was part of the possessions of the abbey of St. Albans, and to it was annexed the church of Flamstead till the beginning of the twelfth century, when they were separated. […] It was confirmed to the abbey by Henry II and John. […] Abbot Paul (1077–93) assigned part of the tithes of Redbourn for the maintenance of writers in the abbey scriptorium. […] Any Saxon church that may have existed here was replaced in the twelfth century by one which forms the nucleus of the present building, and had an aisleless nave 25 ft. wide, a chancel, and a western tower. Its approximate date is given by the record of the dedication of the church of Redbourn by Herbert Losinga, bishop of Norwich (1094–1119)"; no font mentioned in the VXCH entry. Pevsner & Cherry (1977) write: "Font. Handsome, unpretentious, early C18 design".
