There is an entry for Kings Langley [variant spelling] in the Domesdayy survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL0702/kings-langley/] [accessed 14 September 2016], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Hertfordshire, vol. 2, 1908) notes: "The patronage of King's Langley in early times seems to have passed with the manor of Shendish, as in 1215 a grant of the advowson by Alice wife of Ralph Chenduit, and her sons Simon and Hugh, to the prior and convent of St. Oswald, Nostell, was confirmed by King John. […] The walls of the chancel are of thirteenth-century date, and the nave probably retains the plan of a yet earlier aisleless building […] The font, in the west bay of the south arcade, is modern."
