There is an entry for Quarrendon [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP8015/quarrendon/] [accessed 4 January 2016], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Sheahan (1862) notes: "There is no village, but the ruined church of the parish is distant 1 1/2 mile N[orth] from Aylesbury". Sheahan (ibid.) notes that, although the Lysosns and Lipscomb set the foundation date for this church in 1392, a printed copy of an instrument executed by the Bishop of Lincoln in 1294 mentioned Quarendon as one of several Chapels of Ease of Aylesbury "served by priests from the mother church". Sheahan (ibid.) quotes a mid-19th century source that dated the original church or chapel to the 12th or 13th century; Lysons had it already noted as a disused chapel by 1720. The Victoria County Histrot (Buckingham, vol. 4, 1927) notes: "The ruins of the church or chapel of St. Peter stand in a small field surrounded by an iron railing in the south-east of the parish. [...] The church [...] dated from the latter half of the 13th century [...] The church was altered and decorated by Sir Henry Lee at the end of the 16th century [...] but in the early part of the 19th century it was allowed to fall into decay [...] disappeared with the remaining fittings of the interior before the middle of the century."
