Eton College / Eton / Eaton / Etone / Etton / Ettone / Eyton / Eytone

There is an entry for Eton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/?indexChar=E] [accessed 11 November 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The RCAHM (Buckinghamshire, 1912) refers indirectly to a font when describing an indent "in Ante-Chapel [...] half hidden by font", but the font itself is not listed among the fittings of this church. The church itself dates from the late 15th century, but the font noted 'in passim' in the RCAHM (ibid.) is probably the same font that was later moved to the parish church of Worplesdon, together with the pulpit and the altar rails of the college chapel [www.surreyplacesofworship.org.uk/visitors-detail.asp?ID=140]. [NB: a later church founded by the Eton College mission in 1880, the Church of St Mary of Eton with St Augustine, in Hackney, Greater London Area, has a font of 1891]. The Victoria County History (Bucks., vol. 3, 1925) notes: "The church of Eton is mentioned in 1198 [...] The site of the college comprised the parish church, which seems to have stood on the south side of the present church, and was not pulled down till 1475 or later." There is no mention of a font in this church in the VCH entry. [cf. Index entry for Eton for the Church of St. John the Evangelist and its modern font]
