No entry found for Moggerhanger in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Bedfordshire, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "There is no mention of MOGGERHANGER MANOR in Domesday, and it was apparently included in the 10 hides belonging to Adeliza wife of Hugh de Grentmeisnil in Chalton. [...] Moggerhanger Church was built by Mrs. Dawkins as a memorial to her husband, the Rev. Edward Henry Dawkins of Moggerhanger House, who died in 1859." The round font raised on five columns is also modern.
