Aston Upthorpe / Estone

There is an entry for Aston Upthorpe [variant spelling] in te Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SU5586/aston-upthorpe/] [accessed 27 March 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The font here is described in 'Church notes...' (1887) in the context of some "notes [that] were taken between 1835 and 1840": "The font stiff Perpendicular with an octagonal bowl." Drawing of a font in the Harvey Pridham Drawings of English Fonts (MS 56). [Folder Number, Item Description]. University of Colorado at Boulder Libraries. Special Collections Dept., done by Harvey Pridham in June 1888 accompanied by the following description: "Octagonal bowl & stem, irregular: circular bowl, no lead, sides' nearly vertical, flat at bottom. 9 1/2 deep. The base is modern. Parker speaks, in his topography, of a Norman font. This one at any rate, seems certainly old. Revisit. Position, under open arch at W. end, under turret." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. The Victoria County History (Berkshire, vol. 3, 19123) notes: "The earliest portion of the church is the nave, which may date from the latter half of the 11th century. The only details of this period now remaining are the blocked-up south doorway, the easternmost window in the north wall of the nave and perhaps the rear arch of the north doorway. [...] The chancel was entirely rebuilt in the year 1860. [...] The font is modern."
