Werrington nr. Launceston / Trewolvredow / Uluredintone / Ulvredintone

There is an entry for this Werrington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SX3287/werrington/] [accessed 11 December 2019]; although it was a large settlement it reports no cleric or church in it. Pevsner (1952) describes this as one of two fonts in this church: "Font. Norman, undecorated, but on a base with heads at the corners." The second font is described and illustrated in Tyrrell-Green (1928) as a pedestal font of the Post-Reformation period in the Classical style; the miniscule basin is round, its sides ornamented with four angel heads at 90-degree angles; ribbed pattern on the undebowl; baluster-type pedestal with octagonal but rounded shape, ornamented on four of them; octagonal lower base on square plinth [NB: Tyrrell-Green has the county as Devon]. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SX3278687611] notes; "Parish church dedicated to St Martin. 1742, consecrated in 1743 by Dr. Nicholas Claggit. Restored in 1891-2"; this sam source reports two fonts in the present church: one much older than the building itself, "Norman font from earlier church; the bowl decorated with carved heads at corners on an octagonal stem with square base", and another contemporary with the building: "Especially interesting C18 font, probably the earliest Gothic Revival font (Pevsner) and possibly by Kent who, Pevsner suggests, may have been responsible for the C18 additions to Werrington Park [...] The font has a small bowl decorated with cherubs' heads on a baluster shaft with moulded base". The old font has been altered, and now shows a modern addition to the upper rim with modern motifs on the sides; the square lower base, decorated with heads at the corners appears original. A modern font cover is now on the font.
