There is an entry for this Eastwick [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL4311/eastwick/] [accessed 26 October 2016]; it mentions a priest but not a church in it, though there probably was one there. Crawley's Guide to Hertfordshire (1880) reports "a font of stone with red marble columns" in this church, probably a new introduced in the 1872-1873 restoration by A.W. Blomfield. The Victoria County History (Hertford, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "A priest is included among the tenants of Eastwick Manor at the time of the Domesday Survey. [...] In 1138 Baldwin son of Gilbert de Clare [...] granted the church of Eastwick to Bourne Abbey, Lincolnshire [...] The church of ST. BOTOLPH was rebuilt, all but the west tower, in 1872, some of the old material being re-used [...] The original 13th-century chancel arch has been re-erected in the church"; there is no mention of a font in the VCH entry.
