No individual entry for Edgware found in the Domesday survey. The entry for this parish in the Victoria Country History (Middlesex, vol. 4, 1971) notes: "In the 12th and 13th centuries there was a small church or chapel belonging to the Hospital of St. Bartholomew in the north-west corner of the parish near the village of Elstree, [...] but the church of Edgware proper is first mentioned in the mid 13th century, when with Kingsbury it was stated to be appropriated to the use of the Knights Hospitallers [...] The church of ST. MARGARET stands on the north-west side of Station Road near its junction with High Street. [...] The tower [...] probably dates from the 15th century, although 14th-century bricks were found when repairs were made to the newel turret in 1960 [...] The small 18th-century marble font was removed from the aisle to a pew at the entrance of the church". The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TQ1928291694] notes: "C15 tower, much renewed in C19. The body of the Church was rebuilt in circa 1764/5 and then largely again in circa 1845", but mentions no font in it.
