No entry found for this Didcot in the Domesday survey. Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Early English period. The Victoria County History (Berkshire, vol. 3, 1923) notes: "The nave walls are probably of the 12th century, a capital of c. 1160 having been found at a recent repair [...] Built against the west face of the western pier of the south arcade of the nave is a tub font, perhaps of late 12th-century date, standing on an octagonal step with chamfered nosing."
