No entries for either Chavenage or Ledgemore found in the Domesday survey. Verey & Brooks (1999-2002) write: "Font. A fluted Early Norman bowl, found on the estate, and perhaps from a possible medieval chapel at Ledgemore, nearby." [NB: the 'estate' referred to above is Chavenage House, the manor house]
