Charlwood / Charlewood / Cherlewude / Cherlwude / Chorlwode

No entry for Charlwood found in the Domesday survey. A font here is described in Brayley (1850): "The font is a plain stone, octagonal in form, and supported by a rude square pillar." Noted in the Victoria County History (Surrey, vol. 3, 1911): "The font is a small one with a plain octangular bowl on a square shaft; it appears to be modern." The VCH (ibid.) futher notes of some findings in the parish area : "about 1890 a vessel of Paludina Limestone (Sussex marble) was found on the estate of Mr. Young at Stanhill, which the finders regarded as an ancient font, but which was perhaps a stone mortar." And, again in the VCH entry (ibid.): "The porch is a 15th-century addition; it has an east window of two plain pointed lights in a square head, and a broken holy-water stoup which was moulded like a capital on three sides. [...] In the south wall is a small square recess with moulded edges, which has no drain and seems to be a credence rather than a piscina recess." [NB: the VCH (ibid.) dates the old nave and tower to ca. 1100, but we have no information on the original font of this church].
