There is an entry for Eastleach [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP1905/eastleach-turville/] [accessed 18 July 2014], but it mentions neither church nor priest in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Gloucester, vol. 7, 1981) notes: "Eastleach Turville had a church by 1114 when Henry I confirmed it to Tewkesbury Abbey"; there is no mention of a font in the VCH entry. The modern font is noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Font. Probably early C19." Baptismal font of late construction, probably Victorian, consisting of an octagonal basin the sides of which are decorated with blank shields inscribed in trefoil arches, raised on a plain octagonal stem and a plain quadrangular lower base. The wooden cover is octagonal and flat, probably of the same date as the font itself. [NB: there is a Norman tympanum with a 'Maiestas domini' over the south door of the original church, but we have no information on the original font of this church].
