There are five entries for [Great and Little] Hallingbury [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/XX0000/great-and-little-hallingbury/] [accessed 16 May 2018], one of which, in the lordship of Esger (the constable) in 1066, mentions a priest and church in it. The Victoria County History (Essex, vol. 8, 1983) notes: "Architectural evidence shows that Great Hallingbury church existed in the 11th century [...] Two features of the late 11th century have survived: the chancel arch, which is mainly of Roman brick, reset, and a small round-headed window in the nave [...] The building was remodelled and enlarged in 1874 [...] to the designs of G. E. Pritchett"; there is no mention of a font in the VCH entry. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TL5113719600] does not mention a font either. The present font, consisting of an octagonal basin with decorated panels, raised on a central shaft and four outer colonnettes, is modern.
