Font Notes:
There is an entry for Barton[-on-the-Heath] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP2532/barton-on-the-heath/] [accessed 19 December 2014], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. A stoup of the Norman period is noted in Parker (1850). Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a holy-water stoup of the Norman period at the entrance of this church. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 5, 1949) notes: "The chancel and nave are of early-12th-century date [...] The chancel arch, only 11 ft. wide, is of early-12th-century date but was probably partly rebuilt about the end of the same century [...] east of the south doorway is a stoup in a 15th-century four-centred head" [NB: it is not clear whether or not the same stoup is referred by the two sources. The CRSBI (2014) does not mention any early stoup, though it does mention that some early stones may have been re-carved. English Heritage [Listing NGR: SP2560632523] (1966) notes: "Church. Perhaps Anglo-Danish origins. Early and late C12, and C14 with some C15 alterations. C17 and C19 restorations. [...] C15 octagonal carved font." [cf. Index entry for Barton-on-the-Heath No. 2 for the 15th-century font in this church]
