There is a mention of this Tibberton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D7333526] [accessed 1 October 2014]. A modern font here is noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002). "Font. 1920; stone, octagonal." The present baptismal font consists of an octagonal basin the front side of which bears a trefflée cross; the underbowl is decorated with graded mouldings; angular moulding at the centre ring; octagonal stema dn lower base; polygonal plinth with kneeling stone prolongation of one side. This font is modern and bears an inscription related to World War I. [NB: the fabric of the church goes back to the Norman period, but we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church].
