Wolfhamcote / Ulfelmescote [Domesday] / Wifelmescot / Wolfhampcote

There are two entries for Wolfhamcote [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP5265/wolfhampcote/] [accessed 12 February 2014], one of which, in the lordship of Thorkil of Warwick, mentions a priest, but not a church, though there probably was one there. A font here is described and illustrated in Bond (1908), who comments that many of these crude fonts devoid of all ornamentation "cannot be proved to be Anglo-Saxon, but neither can they be proved to be Norman". The plain basin is bucket-shaped, almost cylindrical, raised over a two-step lower base. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 6, 1951) notes: "A priest, implying a church, is mentioned in the Domesday description of Turchil's estate of Wolfhamcote [...] The present church was built in the 14th century, the tower in the west end of the north aisle late in the 15th century [...] by the west bay of the south arcade there is a plain circular stone font, slightly concave and tapered, with a deep lead-lined basin."
