Charlton-on-Otmoor / Cerlentone

There is an entry for Charlton [-on-Otmoor] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP5615/charlton-on-otmoor/] [accessed 6 December 2016] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Guide to the Architectural Antiquities in the Neighbourhood of Oxford (1846) reports: "Font, plain, round, spreading upwards, stands on two steps, which are built in with the west pillar on the north side, so that it is clearly of one age, Early English. The cover is plain pyramidal, with a singular and good top to it, consisting of a sort of crest of the Tudor flower." Noted in Kelly's Oxford Directory of 1911: "the font is plain and round and has a singular crested cover". Ettlinger (1962), probably quoting Lamborn (1929), describes it as the earliest lid of the thirteenth century. The Victoria County History (Oxford, vol. 6, 1959) notes: "There was an 11th-century church at Charlton: after the Conquest Hugh de Grantmesnil granted the advowson with the tithes, 5 virgates of land and a villein to the Benedictine monastery of St. Évroul in Normandy. His grant was confirmed by the king in 1081 [...] The church [...] is a stone building, dating mainly from the 13th and 14th centuries and comprising a chancel, clerestoried nave, north and south aisles, western tower, and south porch. [...] The stone font is plain and round with a pyramid shaped cover of wood." Noted in Sherwood & Pevsner (1974): "Font. Plain, tubshaped. Probably C13." The crested cover is C16." The font-cover is noted in Howard & Crossley (1919) as possibly of the same date as the 13th-century font.
