Walton-in-Gordano / Waltone

There is an entry for Walton [in-Gordano] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/ST4273/walton-in-gordano/] [accessed 19 October 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Rutter (1829) reports a font "of a plain octagonal form" in the new church, although he does not clearly state that it is from the old church. The Gentleman's Magazine (issue of July-Dec, 1860) reports an excursion of the Somersetshire Archaeological and Natural History Society, with a stop at Walton-in-Gordano, of which it was noted: "The ruins of the old church are of the period of Richard II [i.e., 1377-1399]. The font was removed from it to the new edifice". Listed in Tyrrell-Green (1928) as one in a very large group of baptismal fonts that are plain octagonal with straightsided basins. Not mentioned in Pevsner (1958). The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: ST4251573137] notes: "Parish church. 1839 on site of possibly earlier secular building. [...] Fittings: C19 pews and pulpit; stone font in nave, octagonal, on octagonal stem with 4 stops to base, possibly resited." [NB: oddly enough the HE entry does not make reference to an earlier church here].
