The Victoria County History (Surrey, vol. 4, 1912) notes: "Bishop Peter des Roches of Winchester built in the church of the priory of St. Mary Overy, between 1212 and 1239, a spacious chapel dedicated to the honour of ST. MARY MAGDALENE. The parish of that name was apparently formed soon afterwards out of the adjacent territory, and the chapel, which stood on the south side of the quire of the priory church, became its church, but was pulled down in 1822"; no font mentioned in the VCH entry.
