Wallingford No. 2 / Walenge / Walengeford / Walingeford / Warenge / Warine-ford / Wealinga-ford

There are eight entries for Wallingford [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU6089/wallingford/] [accessed 4 May 2015], but no mention of cleric or church found in any of them. The Victoria County History (Berkshire, vol. 3, 1923) notes: "Wallingford seems at one time, perhaps in the 12th century and possibly even later in the 13th century, to have contained fourteen or fifteen churches or chapels. [...] Of these, ten or eleven were parish churches, three were chapels belonging to religious foundations and one was a bridge chapel. [...] The advowson of the church of St. Mary-the-More belonged from an early date to the abbey of St. Albans. Between 1077 and 1093 Niel Daubeney and his wife Amice gave half the church of St. Mary in Wallingford to the abbey [...] With the exception of the walls of the chancel and the west tower, the church was completely rebuilt in 1854." There is no mention of a font in this church in the VCH entry [NB: we have no information on the medieval font here].
