Cherington nr. Stroud / Cerintone

There is an entry for Cherington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/ST9098/cherington/] [accessed 5 January 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The font here is described in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a "great specimen of late Norman. It is circular, and the bowl is arcaded with twelve semicircular arches containing the Twelve Apostles. One of these, St. Peter, holds a book in the left hand and a key in the right; the remainder all have a book, but held in different fashions. It resembles the font at Avebury, and is illustrated in the Wilts. Archaeological Magazine (vol. xxv)." The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Gloucestershire, vol. 11, 1976) notes: "The earliest record of the name of the parish suggests that Cherington had a church by the time of the Norman Conquest. [...] The font and a capital inverted and inset in a chancel-arch respond are additional remnants of the 12th-century church." Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Font. Norman tub-shaped bowl with a low pedestal only 12 in. (30 cm.) high on a massive circular base 10 ft (3 metres) in circumference". The entry for this church in the CRSBI (2019) reports a 12th-century font here: "The font has a plain, tapering bowl, with a plain, rounded band running along the top. The bowl is lined with lead. It is set on a plain cylindrical base with a large angle roll at the top. The tooling on the bowl and the base is similar. The plain, circular plinth may not be original." [NB: ***there is Cherington/Chirton/Churton/Cherrington in Wiltshire -- is this the problem with the above discrepancy?]
