Chedzoy

No entry found for Chedzoy in the Domesday survey. There is no mention of a font in Wade & Wade (1929) but they note a holy-water stoup, presumably medieval. Neither font nor stoup mentioned in Pevsner (1958). The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: ST3411537666] reports an "Octagonal font, Early English", here. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Somerset, vol. 6, 1992) notes: "The church was a dependent chapel of North Petherton and was given with the mother church to Buckland priory on its foundation c. 1166 [...] Temporary burial rights were granted to the chapel, probably during the civil war in the 1140s. [...] The church had achieved independence by the early 13th century, [...] and was a sole rectory until 1978 [...] The font is of the 13th century". The font consists of an octagonal basin with plain and repaired sides, raised on a round pedestal base with a single roll moulding at each end; moulded lower base;; raised on a modern two-step plinth. The wooden cover is modern.
