Westoning / Weston / Weston Inge / Weston Tregoz / Westone

There is an entry for Westoning [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL0232/westoning/] [accessed 23 September 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Bedfordshire, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "The church of Westoning was granted to the nuns of Elstow by Henry II [1154-1189] with the church of Hitchin in Hertfordshire. [...] In 1291 its value was £4 6s. 8d [...] A few late 12th-century carved stones are built into the inside of the south aisle wall, and a good deal of ruined material of this date is to be seen elsewhere, but the church seems to have been entirely rebuilt at the beginning of the 14th century on the existing plan [...] The base of the font appears to be a 13th-century capital placed directly on the pavement, and may have belonged to the nave arcade of an earlier church; the bowl is round." Noted in Pevsner (1968): "Font. Cauldron-shaped, with big bold rolls -- obviously C13." The wooden cover is round and flat; appears modern. The whole is raised on a modern polygonal plinth. [NB: we have no information on the font from the earlier church here].
