There is an entry for Berkeley [variant spelling] in the Domesday Survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/ST6899/berkeley/] [accessed 17 May 2017], but it mentions neither priest nor church in it. A font here is noted, with an engraving by J. Basire, in Gough (1792). In Tymms (1834). Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Font. Mid-C12 square Norman bowl with scalloped bottom edge, supported on corner shafts with moulded capitals and bases and keeled outer angles." The font consists of a quadrangular [square?] basin with vertical sides, plain but for a fringe of inverted round arches around the lower end, raised on a central shaft and four angle colonnettes, and a square lower base; the whole is raised on a quadrangular plinth. The inner well of the basin is also quadrangular [square?].
