Font Notes:
There are two entries for [East] Bedfont in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TQ0873/east-bedfont/] [accessed 28 May 2019] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Middlesex, vol. 2, 1911) notes: "The earliest parts are the chancel arch, south doorway, and two small windows -one in the nave, the other in the chancel- which date from c. 1130, when the church consisted of a simple chancel and nave, both of the same width, but considerably shorter than at present. In order to give more light to the chancel two windows were inserted on the south side in the 13th century, but the church appears to have remained very small until the 15th century
