Letchworth

There is an entry for Letchworth [variable spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL2131/letchworth/] [accessed 12 October 2016]; it mentions a priest but not a church in it, though there probably was one there. The Royal Commission on Historical Monuments, Hertfordshire (1911) notes: "Font: bowl, possibly 14th-century." The Victoria County History (Hertsfordshire, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "There is mention of a priest at Letchworth in 1086. […] The church of Letchworth was granted, with all appurtenances and 12 acres of land in the parish, to the monastery of St. Albans by William de Montfitchet and Rohais his wife and William their son at the beginning of the 12th century […] The original church of the 12th century is represented by the nave, while the chancel of the 13th century appears to have been rebuilt […] The bowl of the font is probably of the 14th century".
