There are four entries for Tooting [Graveney] and [Upper] Tooting [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/XX0000/tooting-graveney-and-upper-tooting/] [accessed 14 March 2016], one of which reports a church in it. The Victoria County History (Surrey, vol. 4, 1912) notes: "The first mention of the church of St. Nicholas seems to be that of 1086 [...] In the vestry [of the present church] is an old print of the church which preceded this one on the same site [...] the font of grey Purbeck marble with a tall green and gold wood cover."
