There are four entries for this Croughton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP5433/croughton/] [accessed 28 February 2015], neither of which mentions a cleric or church in it. Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-1872 reports the church here as Norman and "in tolerable condition", but mentions no font in it. Cox & Harvey (1907) list a baptismal font of the Early English period in this church. Dated in Mee (1945) to the 13th century. English Heritage [Listing NGR: SP5458333550] (1969) notes: "Romanesque tub font re-cut C14/C15 with a frieze of leaves and rosettes framing small animals and figures." In Pevsner & Cherry (1973): "Circular, C13, but re-carved in the C15 (and by a rector in the first half of the C19, BB). Friezes of dog-tooth, pointed arches, naturalistic leaves, and also tiny medallions with figures, symbols, and animals." Noted [after Pevsner] and illustrated in the CRSBI (2015) as "a 13thc. piece, apparently recarved in the 15thc. and again in the 19thc."
