East Donyland / Dunilanda / Dunulunda / Rowhedge

There are five entries for [East] Donyland [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TM0120/east-donyland/] [accessed 14 June 2018], none of which mentions priest or church in it. The Victoria County History (Essex, vol. 10, 2012) notes: "The advowson of East Donyland church was confirmed to St. John's abbey, Colchester, in 1178, and the abbey retained it until the Dissolution [...] The medieval church of St. Laurence, [...] demolished c. 1840, stood on the east side of the Fingringhoe road, just north of East Donyland Hall. [...] It may have been 12th-century in origin, but was remodelled if not rebuilt in the 13th century. [...] The church was replaced in 1837-8 by an octagonal building of white brick, c. ½ mile east of the old church on the outskirts of the growing village of Rowhedge [...] described in [...] as the ugliest parish church in England, [...] The interior was re-ordered in 1969 when the floor was replaced, the pews re- arranged, the 14th-century font from St. Martin's, Colchester, placed in the centre of the nave". The VCH (Essex, vol. 9, 1994) reports a 15th-century font, formerly from East Donyland, moved to Colchester St Leonard's. The entry for this modern church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TM0299521556] mentions no font in it.
