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: "The church of All Saints was probably one of those held by Peter de Valognes in 1086, [...] for Robert de Valognes gave it to Waltham Abbey. [...] The gift was confirmed by Richard I in December 1189, when the invocation is first mentioned [...] The church of ALL SAINTS was erected in 1895 on the site of the former church, which was burnt down in 1891 [...] The only fittings which escaped destruction were two brasses". The entry for this church in English Heritage [Listing NGR: TL3279912457] (1973) reports: "Font of polished fossil limestone, octagonal basin on column with attached rolls and shafts, with naive wood cover, carved by Vernon Hall for Christopher Perawne, Vicar 1960-66."
