There is an entry for Tandridge [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TQ3750/tandridge/] [accessed 28 March 2016], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Surrey, vol. 4, 1912) notes: "A church standing on the manor of Tillingdon is mentioned in the Domesday Survey. [...] Tandridge Church (if this is the same) afterwards belonged to Tandridge Priory, [...] being possibly given to that house by Odo de Dammartin, the founder. [...] 11th-century nave, about 40 ft. by 25 ft.; chancel, dating originally from the same period, 27 ft. by 20 ft. A south aisle was added to the nave in 1844, together with a porch, and a north aisle, from Sir Gilbert Scott's designs, in 1874 [...] The font, of white stone, with green marble shafts, is modern".
