There are two entries for Laleham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TQ0568/laleham/] [accessed 28 May 2019] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Middlesex,vol. 2, 1911) notes: "Laleham was from the earliest times a chapelry of Staines, [..] with which it was probably appropriated, but until the 15th century it was served by a separate vicar appointed by the Abbot and Convent of Westminster, patrons of the mother church. [...] By an order made by William, Bishop of London, however (probably between 1426 and 1431), the vicar of Staines was in future to appoint curates to the chapels of that church, but it was provided that if there were any vicar who had been canonically appointed to any of the chapels, he should remain there during his lifetime. [...] The church of ALL SAINTS, a little ivy-grown brick-faced building, though containing some 12th-century work in the nave, has been so altered and rebuilt that little really old work is left [...] The font, at the west end of the north aisle, is modern, in 12th-century style" [NB: the church hoes back to Norman times, but we have no information of the earlier font(s) of this church]
