There is an entry for Camberwell [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TQ3276/camberwell/] [accessed 8 March 2016], and it mentions a church in it. The Victoria County History (Surrey, vol. 4, 1912) notes "The church of Camberwell, mentioned in the Domesday Survey, was granted by William Earl of Gloucester, lord of the fee, to the convent of Bermondsey. [...] The [present] parish church of ST. GILES is a large building of stone in the style of the 14th century, erected in 1844 and designed by Sir Gilbert Scott after the old church had been burnt down"; no font is mentioned in the VCH entry.
