Forthampton / Forhelmentone / Fortemettone

There are two entries for Forthampton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SO8532/forthampton/] [accessed 4 February 2019] neither of which mentions claric or church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Gloucester, vol. 8, 1968) notes: "Although the tithes of Forthampton were recorded in 1086, [...] it appears unlikely that there was a church there then. In the early 12th century a chantry or chapel was established at Forthampton, presumably by Tewkesbury Abbey [...] A new alabaster font was given as a monument to Mrs. Plumptre (d. 1849), the wife of the incumbent; what was thought to be the earlier font was placed in a garden in Tewkesbury." This latter reference in the VCH is foot notes: "'Glos. fonts', Trans. B.G.A.S. xlviii. 103, 113." Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Elaborately carved stone and marble font" dating from the 19th-century renovation. Baptsmal font consisting of an octagonal basin, the sides decorated with round niches in which alternate the symbols of the four Evangelists with scenes [one appears to be the Baptism of Christ in the Jordan]; raised on a broad central shaft and four outer colonnettes, the stems made of coloured marble, a Victorian preference; octagonal lower base; octagonal plinth with kneeling stone. Running inscriptions on the upper rim of the basin and on the lower base. Flat wooden cover, octagonal; probably contemporary with the font, of the mid 19th century. [NB: the church is originally from the medieval period, but we have no information on the font of that church]
