There is an entry for this Newbottle [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SP5136/newbottle/] [accessed 10 May 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Mee (1945) reports: "The font is Norman". The font consists of a plain cylindrical basin raised on a pedestal (?) base. Not mentioned in Pevsner & Cherry (1973). Described and illustrated in the CRSBI (2008): "plain cylindrical bowl of oolitic limestone on a modern ashlar base. The bowl is lined with lead, has a major crack running around it halfway up, and another on the S side, and has lock damage on the rim at the NW [...] The font, of course, is quite undateable." The entry for this church in Histirc England [Listing NGR: SP5236136915] notes: "Parish Church. C13 to late C15 with late C12 remains. Roof renewed in 1984. [...] South arcade of c.1400 has double-chamfered arches, octagonal piers and large octagonal capitals, probably C12, re-cut. [...] Romanesque tub font."
