Drayton nr. Banbury / Draiton/ Draitone / Drayton Cherwell

There are three entries for this Drayton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP4241/drayton/] [accessed 7 November 2017], none of which mentions priest or church in it. The Ecclesiastical and Architectural Topography of England: Oxfordshire (1850) notes: "The font is plain." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) with a baptismal font of the Norman period. Noted in Kelly's Oxford Directory of 1911 [http://www.historicaldirectories.org/hd/d.asp] [accessed 30 June 2007]: "the font is plain and round". The Victoria County History (Oxford, vol. 9, 1969) notes: "Drayton church is not mentioned until 1223, [...] the date of the first recorded presentation. [...] The Church [...] is mainly of 14th-century date, but the plain font is earlier." Listed in Tyrrell-Green (1928) describe the font as tub-shaped and put it in the same period/style. There is no font mentioned in Sherwood & Pevsner (1974). The entry for this church in the CRSBI (2017) mentions "a plain font of uncertain date" in this church. [NB: not to be mistaken with the other Drayton listed in this Index in Oxfordshire, which is located about near Abingdon].
