Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a holy-water stoup of the Norman period. Miller (1890) reports a Norman doorway in this church but mentions neither font nor stoup in it. Noted and illustrated in the Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 4, 1924): "The church has been so extensively restored and altered as to leave few traces of its history. It is probably a 12th-century building largely reconstructed in the following century [...] Just east of this [south] doorway is a holy-water stoup." [cf. Index entry for Bricklehampton No. 1 for a baptismal font of the same period in this church]
