Wootton nr. Bedford / Otone / Wutton

There is an entry for this Wootton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL0045/wootton/] [accessed 21 September 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Kelly's Directory of Bedforsdshire (1898) has: "the font, pulpit and other fittings are all modern". The Victoria County History (Bedford, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "The church of Wootton was bestowed on Newnham Priory by Simon de Beauchamp in his foundation charter c. 1166 [...] The church dates from the early part of the 14th century [...] The whole has been much restored [...] Near the south door is the modern font." Pevsner (1968), however, notes: "Font. Perp[endicular], octagonal, with panelled stem and traceried bowl." The Bedford Borough Council web site [www.bedfordshire.gov.uk] [accessed 24 October 2011] entry for this church notes: "A new font was made and installed in 1857", but does not inform of the whereabouts of the old font.
