The only individual entry for Paddington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey, where it appears as 'Padendene', refers to the one in Surrey (Hundred of Wotton), located between Shere (W) and Wotton (E). The entry for the civil parish of Paddington (Ossulstone hundred) in the Victoria County History (Middlesex, vol. 9, 1989) notes: "A chapel at Paddington was declared in 1222 to belong to the parish of St. Margaret, Westminster, [...] of which the rectory had long been held by Westminster abbey. [...] A single chapel or church at Paddington green, twice rebuilt, served the parish until 1818. In 1845 its function as the parish church was transferred to St. James's, Sussex Gardens. [...] The existing church of ST. MARY, Paddington green, [...] was built under an Act of 1788 [...] The body of the church was reseated with new box pews in 1972-3, when the original panelling, font, pulpit, altar, and altar rails were restored"; the VCH entry gives no detail of the font mentioned in its text.
