Stoke Newington / Nentone / Neutone / Stoke Canonicorum

There is an entry for [Stoke] Newington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TQ3386/stoke-newington/] [accessed 25 June 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Middlesex, vol. 8, 1986) notes: "A rector was appointed in 1314 to the church of Stoke Newington, which was a peculiar of the dean and chapter of St. Paul's, London. [...] The new church of ST. MARY, [...] opposite the old one, was started in 1855 and consecrated in 1858. It was built to a design by Sir George Gilbert Scott in a 13th-century style of Kentish rag with Bath stone dressings and consists of apsidal chancel with aisles, aisled nave, north and south transepts, and south-east vestry. A spire was completed on the western tower in 1890 by John Oldrid Scott. The church accommodated 1,300 people and had rich stained glass, a timbered roof, and an elaborate font. It was restored in 1923 but was badly damaged during the Second World War and again restored in 1957". The prewsent font in Old St Mary's is modern.
