There is an entry for Yanworth [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP0713/yanworth/] [accessed 6 August 2017], but it mentions neither priest nor church in it. Verey & Brooks (1999-2002) write: "Font. A Norman tub raised on a C19th pedestal." The Victoria County History (Gloucester, vol. 9, 2001) notes: "The church retains its 12th-century font, which has cable moulding around the rim and stands on a 19th-century base." The basin, which has a double rope moulding in the form of a braid appears to have been re-cut from its original shape, and then mounted on a modern pedestal base. The round flat cover is modern as well [NB: two different covers are shown on the font, one in 2007, another in 2017].
