There are two entries for Pendock [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SO7832/pendock/] [accessed 29 September 2014], one of which reports a priest and church lands in it; even though is church is not explocitly mentioned, there probably was one here. The font here is noted in Noake (1868) simply as a "cylindrical font". Miller (1890) reports: "The font is probably Nporman". Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. Listed in Andrews (1912) simply as a interesting font. The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 3, 1913) notes: "There was possibly a church at Pendock at the time of the Domesday Survey, for a priest held half a hide of land in the manor of Pendock belonging to the monks of Worcester Priory. [...] The chancel and nave appear to date from the middle of the 12th century. [...] The font is circular, and stands on a base of the same form. The workmanship is rude, and no more can be said of its date than that it belongs to the middle ages". Described and illustrated in the CRSBI (2014): "Plain, cylindrical, with the sides tapering slightly to a roll at the base. Modern plinth." In Brooks & Pevsner (2007): "Simple round Norman font; later base". A date in the 10th century is assigned to this font in The Church Gazetteer (www.visitchurches.org.uk/GazetteerChurch...], although the monolithic tub-shape design matches the late-12th century Norman building.
