There is an entry for Aldbury [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP9612/aldbury/] [accessed 27 July 2016], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Hertford, vol. 2, 1908) notes: "The church of Aldbury was granted early in the thirteenth century by William de Bocland to the canons of St. Mary, Missenden […] Nothing older than thirteenth-century detail is now to be seen, a window at the north-east of the chancel dating from the first quarter of this century […] the present chancel was added to the east and outside the lines of an earlier chancel about 1220, the area of the old chancel being thrown into the nave. […] The font, under the tower, is modern, with a round bowl of Bath stone and a central stem flanked by four columns of serpentine."
