There are five entries for Hertford [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL3212/hertford/] [accessed 9 November 2016]; one of the entries mentions a church in it; another mentions two churches in it. The Victoria County History {Hertford, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "St. Andrew's Church is first mentioned by name in 1208, when King John granted it to Master Adam of Essex, his clerk, for life. [...] The church of ST. ANDREW was erected on the site of the former church in 1869 [...]; it consists of an apsidal chancel, nave with aisles, north and south transepts and west tower. It is built of flint with stone dressings in the style of the early 14th century"; no font mentioned in this VCH entry for St. Andrew's. The entry for this church in English Heritage [Listing NGR: TL3234312564] (1973) notes: "Font, at west end in front of tower arch was raised on present stepped podium in 1890, cream sandstone, C14 style, octagonal, with arcaded surround to bowl with ogee arches."
