Click to view
There are eighteen entries for Exeter [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SX9292/exeter/] [accessed 13 May 2018], of which two mention a church in it. The St. Stephen's Project [http://www.stephenproject.org.uk/brochure/22_briefhistory.htm] [accessed 28 January 2009] reports a neo-Gothic baptismal font of ca. 1864, the time of the Victorian renovation [NB: a church is reported in place here by 1086, but it was probably older, as the excavation of the crypt has shown; we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church]
