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. Sheahan (1862) writes: "The parish church having been appropriated to the college, the chapel of the latter became parochial as well as collegiate. The parishioners attended Divine Service in the college until a Chapel-of-ease was built for them in the town [...] since the college was founded, the Provosts have been Rectors of the parish [...] The present church (St. John) was built in 1852-4 [...] the stone pulpit and the font are elegantly sculptured". The Victoria County History (Bucks., vol. 3, 1925) notes: "The church of Eton is mentioned in 1198 [...] The church of ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST is a building of stone in early 14th-century style, and consists of a chancel with an aisle, a nave with aisles and north and east porches, and a tower at the east end with a spire; it was built in 1854"; the VCH (ibid.) does not mention a font in this church. [NB: the Chapel of St. Mary in the College had a font that was later moved to another parish church [cf. Index entry for Eton College]]
