Wootton Fitzpaine / Odetum / Wodetone / Wotton Fitzpain

There are three entries for Wootton [Fitzpaine] [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SY3795/wootton-fitzpaine/] [accessed 18 February 2020] none of which mentions cleric or church in it. A baptismal font here is noted in the 3rd ed. of Hutchins (1861-1874): "The font has a Norman stem encircled at the top with the cable moulding." Described in The Antiquary (September 21, 1872, p. 232): "The font is Norman, and not uninteresting; it is octagonal in form; the bowl is plain, but there is an enrichment of some merit and interest upon the upper part of the stem, forming a capital for the bowl to rest upon." The entry for this church in An Inventory of the Historical Monuments in Dorset, Volume 1, West (London: HMSO, 1952), pp. 265-267, notes: "There is some 12th-century material reused in the building, but the Crossing, N. and S. Transepts and Nave were rebuilt probably in the second half of the 13th century [...] Font: plain octagonal bowl with chamfered lower edge, mediæval, cylindrical stem with scalloped capital and moulded base, late 12th-century". Newman & Pevsner (1972) note: "Font. The scalloped stem may have been a Norman capital." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SY3714495641] notes: "Parish Church (dedication unknown). C14 and C15 with heavy Victorian restoration, (1872) [...] font, stone with octagonal bowl, C19; re-used scallop-capital with cable necking C12, and short round stem with moulded base." The website for the Benefice of the Golden Cap Team [which includes Wootton Fitzpaine] [http://www.goldencapbenefice.org.uk/woottonfitzpaine-church-history] [accessed 28 January 2010] notes: "The font is of the late twelfth century and was preserved when the old church was pulled down and placed in the new church."
