Chieveley / Chivele / Chivelea / Chyveleye / Cifanlea / Cifelei / Civele / Civelea / Civelei [Domesday]

There is an entry for Chieveley [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU4773/chieveley/] [accessed 12 May 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Cox & Harvey (1907) list a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period in Chieveley. The Victoria County History (Berkshire, vol. 4, 1924) notes: "The church at Chieveley was no doubt built by the abbey of Abingdon, and all dues from it went to that abbey and were confirmed to it in 1152 by Pope Eugenius III. [...] The earliest parts of the present building are the chancel and the lower part of the tower, which belong to the 13th century. [...] The font is octagonal and of 15th-century date with quatrefoil panels to the bowl and the stem has small trefoiled panels. The base is moulded." [NB: we have no information on the baptismal font of the earlier church].
