We found no entry for Sotteswell in the Domesday survey. Cox & Harvey (1907) list a baptismal font of the Norman period here. Illustrated in Bond (1908) as a plain tub-shaped -the lower circumference is slightly smaller than the upper- basin mounted on four stubby legs and raised over two round plinths; the basin appears totally plain and badly cracked, at least on one of the sides; the supports of the base appear mis-matched, at least one of them decorated with a ring moulding; the whole stands on a two-step plinth. The basin is covered with a flat wooden lid of modern manufacture. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 5, 1949) notes: "Presumably an early small church existed before the addition of a north aisle with the existing arcade of mid-12th-century date. [...] The font has a deep round bowl (now cracked) supported on a small short stem and four shafts, two of them of a round reel shape and perhaps of the 11th or 12th century; the other two are later, they are square with stopped chamfers to their outer edges." Described and illustrated in the CRSBI (2015): "The bowl is plain and tub-shaped and rests on four supports".
