There are three entries for Loughton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP8337/loughton/] [accessed 23 February 2016], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. Sheahan (1862) notes that the church is and ancient structure; the font "has attached to it a carved canopy of wood". The Victoria County History (Buckingham, vol. 4, 1927) notes: "A church of Great Loughton was recorded as early as 1219 […] The chancel and nave probably date from the first years of the 13th century, though all the original details have been removed during subsequent alterations […] The plain octagonal font probably dates from about 1700." the entry in English Heritage [Listing NGR: SP8375337881] , however, notes: "Font also probably C13." [NB: there was a restoration in 1700; is the font from that date, or is it the medieval font of this church? or on the one from the demolished church at Little Loughton?]
