Sandon nr. Royston / Sandona / Sandone / Sanduna / Saundon

There is an entry for this Sandon [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL3234/sandon/] [accessed 25 October 2016]; it mentions a pries but not a church in it, though there probably was one there. The Royal Commission on Historical Monuments, Hertfordshire (1911) reports: "Font: bowl modern, stem, with four flanking shafts, and base probably late 14th-century." The Victoria County History (Hertfordshire, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "The advowson of the church of Sandon belonged to the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's, [...] and in 1155 it was let to farm with the manor to Alexander, one of the canons of the cathedral. [..] There was attached to the church half a hide of land which was geldable to the king. [...] The church was appropriated to the dean and chapter by Bishop Walter of Lincoln in 1183–4. [...] The chancel was rebuilt on the old foundations about 1348 [...] The bowl of the font is modern, but the octagonal stem with its four flanking octagonal shafts and bases belongs probably to the 14th century."
