Shepperton / Lower Shepperton / Scepertone / Shepperton Green / Upper Sheperton

There ia an entry for Shepperton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TQ0867/shepperton/] [accessed 30 May 2019]; it reporta a priest and "0.12 church lands" in it, but not a church though there must have been one there. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Middlesex, vol. 3, 1962) notes that evidence of a Saxon cemetery of the 5th-6th cemetery has been found near the site of the present church, "north of Chertsey Road and near Walton Bridge", and that, at some point towards the end of the 16th century the old church had been partially (?) damaged and washed away by flodding of the Thames. The VCH (ibid.) further notes: "There was a priest at Shepperton in 1086 [...] and a church is referred to in 1157 [...] The church continued to serve the whole parish until 1949 when the northern part was transferred to Littleton ecclesiastical parish. [...] and the church was closed about 1953. [...] The present church of ST. NICHOLAS is generally said to have been built in 1614 from the ruins of a former building which had been washed away by the River Thames" [cf. supra] "The west door and tower arch both survive from the building of c. 1600, but the rest of the tower was rebuilt in 1710 [...] An ancient octagonal font is said to have been removed from the church in 1710. [...] The present one is modern." [NB: was the octagonal font removed in 1710 the one from the Domesday-time church, or, more likely, from a later iteration of the parish church here?] The modern font in use is located in the north transept.
