There is an entry for Evesham in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP0343/evesham/] [accessed 4 November 2014], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Miller (1890) writes that the churches of All Saints and St. Lawrence share the same churchyard; of All Saints' Miller praises the main Norman doorway and some of the later, 14th-century work, but mentions no font in it. Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period. In Brooks & Pevsner (2007), who note a 1909 font cover on it. The font consists of an octagonal basin decorated with a moulding at the upper rim, the panels of the sides each with a floral motif (varied: Tudor rose, square flower) inscribed in a tetrafoil; each of the panels of the octagonal stem has a square fower in a foiled arch or window; moulded lower base. Wooden font cover, openwork on an octagonal platform.
