Sunbury-on-Thames / Sunbury / Suneberie

There is an entry for Sunbury [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TQ1068/sunbury/] [accessed 21 October 2015]; it mentions a priest and " 0.12 church lands" in it, but not a church, though there probably was one in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Middlesex, vol. 3, 1962) notes: "A priest is mentioned in the account of Sunbury manor given in Domesday Book [...] and Sunbury church is referred to in 1157. [...] The church continued to serve the whole parish until 1881, when the new parish of St. Saviour's, Upper Sunbury, was created. [...] The parish church of ST. MARY THE VIRGIN stands at the corner of Thames Street and Church Street [...] It was built in 1752 to replace the medieval church on the same site. [...] By 1856 the church was again considered to be too small and in 1857 [...] S. S. Teulon made drastic alterations which were afterwards said to have transformed it into a glittering Byzantine temple"; no font mentioned in the VCH entry. The present font is modern, chalice-shaped in grey veined marble with a gadrooned underbowl; wooden cover with statue finial. [NB: we have no information on the font of the medieval church here].
