There is an entry for Hertingfordbury [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL3011/hertingfordbury/] [accessed 7 November 2016] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Hertford, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "The church was extensively restored and altered in 1845, and in 1890 it was practically rebuilt. The chancel and possibly the nave walls were built in the 13th century, the north aisle and west tower being added in the 15th century"; there is no font mentioned in the VCH entry. The entry for this church in English Heritage [Listing NGR: TL3085411948] (1950) notes: "font elaborately carved alabaster bowl on octagonal column with 4 carved lions sejant". This alabaster font is modern.
