Newington nr. London / Newington Butts

No individual entry found for this Newington in the Domesday survey. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Surrey, vol. 4, 1912) notes: "The advowson of the church belonged to the Archbishop of Canterbury, in whose peculiar jurisdiction the church was. About the time of John or Henry III [i.e., ca. 1200?] one Roger de Sussex held it of the Archbishop of Canterbury. [...] This [present] church was built when the old one, which stood in Newington Butts, was demolished. This had been built in 1721, and nearly entirely rebuilt in 1793, and again extensively repaired in 1810 [...] 18th-century oval marble font". The Survey of London (vol. 25, 1955: 91-94) [www.british-history.ac.uk/survey-london/vol25/pp91-94] [accessed 9 March 2016] notes: "The church of the parish of St. Mary, Newington, has had many vicissitudes, and at the present time only the shell of a building remains, and that not on the old site. [...] The list of rectors is, however, almost complete from 1212 onward. [...] The church was burnt out in an air raid on 10th May, 1941, and has not yet been rebuilt." Actually the tower and a part of the west wall survided; the rest of the church building is modern.
