There is an entry for this Givendale [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE3369/givendale/] but it mentions neither priest nor church in it. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE8133253879] notes: "Church. Rebuilt 1849, using old materials [...] mid C13 stoup to west of south door". The stoup itself is an odd one as much for its shape -an octagonal basin with moulded underbowl raised on a cluster of slender colonnettes and a moulded base- as for its location -embedded from top to bottom in the south wall, just to the left of the entrance; it appears medieval [cf. supra], but not as early as the original mid-12th century chancel arch.
