Chertsey / Cerotesege / Certeseye / Certesi / Certesia / Certesyg / Chertesay

There is an entry for Chertsey in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TQ0467/chertsey/] [accessed 19 December 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Surrey, vol. 3, 1911) notes: "A vicarage of Chertsey [...] is mentioned in the year 1291 [...] The church belonged to the abbot and convent [...] The church was much rebuilt early in the 19th century, but the chancel and west tower have some 15th-century work remaining"; there is no font mentioned in the VCH entry. The Parish web site [www.stpeterschertsey.org/history/history.htm] [accesed 29 August 2012] notes: "The history of the church is closely linked with that of the Benedictine Abbey which was founded at Chertsey in 666 A.D., reputedly by Frithwald, Ealdorman of Surrey. Click here for more details. The old church dated from about 1300 and was originally the Church of All Saints. When the Abbey was dissolved the church adopted the name of the Abbey- Saint Peter. [...] The font is an octagon of Caen stone made from the design of the font at Saint Mary's, Oxford. It is in rectilinear style and was presented to the church by William Evans, Sheriff of London and Middlesex in 1845." [NB: we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church]. [All other churches here are modern].
