Wimbledon / Wimbledone / Wimbleton / Wimmeldon / Wymbeldon / Wymelton / Wymmeldon

No individual entry for Wimbledon found in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Surrey, vol. 4, 1912) notes: "The church which at the time of the Domesday Survey was said to belong to the manor of Mortlake [...] and must have been the church of 'Murtelac' which was seized by Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, but was restored to Lanfranc in 1070, was undoubtedly Wimbledon Church, as there was no church actually situated in the present parish of Mortlake, then part of Wimbledon, until 1348, [...] while Wimbledon Church was called the parish church at least as early as 1286. [...] The church of ST. MARY, standing to the north-west of the town, consists of chancel, south chapel and vestry, nave, north and south aisles, west tower and south porch. The south chapel dates from before the middle of the 17th century; all the structural details of the chancel are modern, and the rest of the church was rebuilt in 1843"; no font mentioned in the VCH entry. The present font is modern.
