There is an entry for Battersea [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TQ2676/battersea/] [accessed 8 March 2016], but it mentions no church in it. The Victoria County History (Surrey, vol. 4, 1912) notes: "in the early years of the rule of Abbot Lawrence (1153–75) the churches of Battersea and Wandsworth were both appropriated to the use of the infirmary of Westminster Abbey", but all the churches in Battersea are modern. The parish Church of St. Mary is late-18th century Georgian, but its baptism registers start at the year 1559. Nothing remains of the medieval church here.
