Waterstock / Stoch

There is an entry for Waterstock [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP6305/waterstock/] [accessed 31 October 2017], but it mentions neither priest nor church in it. The Guide to the Architectural Antiquities in the Neighbourhood of Oxford (1846) notes: "The Font is early, cylindrical, and quite plain, remaining apparently in its original position, as the drain when cleared of the obstructions in the upper part in 1829 was found to carry off the water readily, and has been regularly used to the present time". The Victoria County History (Oxford, vol. 7, 1962) notes: "The earliest evidence for the existence of Waterstock church, a rectory in Cuddesdon deanery, dates from about 1190 [...] The early medieval church was rebuilt at the end of the 15th century [...] the episcopal visitation of about 1520, when the church was found to be comparatively well cared for: the only faults noted were that the font was kept unlocked [...] a thorough restoration was carried out during 1857–8 under the direction of the architect G. E. Street [... at which time...] Parishioners gave a new pulpit, lectern, prayer desk, altar rails, and font. The medieval font, 'plain and round', had to be replaced as it no longer held water".
