There is an entry for Send [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TQ0255/send/] [accessed 17 December 2015]; it reports a church in it. The Victoria County History (Surrey, vol. 3, 1911) notes: "The advowson of the church of Send was granted to the Prior of Newark by Ruald de Calva [temp. Richard I (1189-1199)] [...] The chancel [of the present church] seems to have been built about the year 1240, and is the oldest part of the church. The whole nave was rebuilt late in the 14th century, being unusually wide for its length, and the tower was added somewhat later. The south porch, which is of timber, was probably added late in the 15th century, and the church was restored in 1847. [...] The font is apparently of 13th-century workmanship, but the octagonal bowl has been entirely recut; the lead lining, however, is old. One side of the moulded base has been cut away." The Parish web site [www.sendparishchurch.co.uk/building/building.html] [accessed 24 July 2009] notes: a "lead-lined octagonal font, mounted on sandstone slabs" of the 15th century [NB: the old lead lining mentioned in the VCH entry [cf. supra] has been replaced, the new one wrapping generously over the upper rim of the basin -- the re-cutting has affected the upper half of the stem and most of the basin, but traces of the old carving can still be discerned on some of the panels; the lower base is mostly unchanged except for the one side -- we have no information the earlier font(s) of this church]
