No individual entry for Rotherhithe found in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Surrey, vol. 4, 1912) notes: "There is no evidence of a church at Rotherhithe before 1291 [...] The whole [present] structure is of brick except the stone spire which surmounts the tower, and dates from 1714, when the body of the church was rebuilt in its present form and the old church destroyed"; there is no font mentioned in the VCH entry. The present font is modern.
