There are two entries for Warmington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP4147/warmington/] [accessed 14 July 2015] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. B&W photograph of this font taken ca. 1891-1912, by Catherine Weed Ward, in the George Eastman House collections. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 5, 1949) notes: "The nave dates from the 12th century; no detail is left to indicate its original date but it was of the proportion of two squares, common in the early 12th century. A north aisle was added first, about the middle of the 12th century, with an arcade of three bays; a south aisle followed, near the end of the 12th century, also with a three-bay arcade. [...] The font is circular and dates probably from the 13th century. It has a plain tapering bowl, a short stem with a comparatively large 13th-century moulding at the top: a short base is also moulded." Described and illustrated in the CRSBI (2015): tub-shaped bowl perhaps of the 12th century, without distinguishing features. The only ornamentation is a flat moulding at the upper basin side near the rim. The base and plinth are a succession of roll mouldings of different sizes around a cylindrical pedestal, of a later date than the basin. [NB: the CRSBI (ibid.) describes the material of which the whole church is made as liassic ironstone probably from the nearby quarries at Hornton, but does not mention the material of the font itself]
