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 entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Essex, vol. 8, 1983) notes: "In 1066 Esgar's manor, later Monkbury, included a priest and a villein with 20 a. which belonged to the church [...] The present church [...] dates from the early 12th century [...] In 1853 the church was restored and a north aisle built to the designs of G. E. Pritchett, whose father, Charles Pritchett, had been rector 1835–49." Bettley & Pevsner (2007) report a neo-Norman baptismal font by G.E. Pritchett, who was responsible for the 1853 restoration of the church. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TL5032617472] mentions no font in it. The modern font is of the monolithic quasi-cylindrical design with intersecting round arches, typical of Norman font design; it stands on a two-step round plinth and has a wooden cover, probably Victorian as well. [NB: we have no information on the medieval font]
