There are two entries for [Great and Little] Munden [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [www.domesdaymap.co.uk/place/XX0000/great-and-little-munden/] [accessed 1 March 2015], one of which, in the lordship and tenancy of Walter of Flanders, mentions a priest, but not a church in it, though there probably was one there [NB: that church appears to be the one at Little Munden]. The Victoria County History (Hertford, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "The advowson of the church was from the earliest times in the possession of the lords of the manor. [...] The nave and chancel were built in the 12th century and the south aisle in the middle of the 14th century. The tower dates from the latter part of the 15th century [...] The registers are contained in four books: (i) all entries 1558 to 1682; (ii) baptisms 1678 to 1787[...]"; there is no mention of a font in it. English Heritage [Listing NGR: TL3551924185] (1967) reports an "octagonal font c1891 carved with floral panels and on an octagonal rose marble shaft with moulded stone base".
