No individual entry for Putman found in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Surrey, vol. 4, 1912) notes: "No date can be assigned to the first erection of a chapel at Putney. It is asserted by Lysons [...] to have been older than Mortlake Church, as Archbishop Winchelsey held a public ordination in it in 1302, but no verification for this has been found. It was originally a chapel of ease to Wimbledon [...] The church of ST. MARY was rebuilt in the year 1836, the 15th-century tower and 16th-century chapel built by Nicholas West, Bishop of Ely from 1515 to 1533, being the only portions surviving of the original fabric"; no font mentioned in the VCH entry,
