No individual entry found for Chevening in the Domesday survey. Glynne (1877) notes a modern font in this church [NB: he visited the church in 1835 and 1859]. Noted in Newman (1980): "Font. Perp[endicular]. Octagonal. Buttressed stem. Encircled quatrefoils on the bowl." The entry for this church in Historic England [List Entry Number: 1336446] notes: "There was Roman and Anglo-Saxon settlement at Chevening, and the church is first recorded in the early C12 Textus Roffensis (1122-23), although it probably existed before that date as the nave and N transept appear to be Anglo-Saxon in origin. [...] The core of the church is probably Anglo-Saxon, and the N aisle and N transept were added or remodelled in the C12. S aisle and S chapel added C13, but are of different builds. Tower begun after 1518. The S chapel roof is 1584, when it became the Lennard family chapel, S porch remodelled 1858. Church restored 1869, and a major restoration in 1901-2 by W D Caroë".
