Clatworthy / Clateurde

There is an entry for Clatworthy [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/ST0530/clatworthy/] [accessed 13 November 2017], but it mentions neither priest nor church in it. Jeboult (1873) writes: "The font is very ancient, and is supposed to be older than the present church", which Jeboult describes as "built in the Decorated English style of the 13th century". Noted in Kelly's Directory of 1883: "very ancient stone font". Wade & Wade (1929) report "an ancient font" in this church. Noted in the 'Early History of Clatworthy' [http://wiveliscombeandhills.org.uk/hills/clatHist.shtml] [accessed 12 March 2008]: "In 2001, work was undertaken to [...] restore the font. [...] Not mentioned in Pevsner (1958). The font [just inside the west door] is a circular stone tub with a lead lined basin and is in the shape of a chalice. It is very ancient, possibly older than the church itself. It has 2 rounded moldings at the bottom, above a splayed and circular base, resting directly on a square tiled section of floor. The cover is of polished wood and has wooden cross-straps with arrow tails and 2 plain Greek crosses laid flat, one on top of the other and above the straps. The font is still used for baptisms" The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Somerset, vol. 5, 1985) notes: "There was probably a priest at Clatworthy by 1189, and a parson is mentioned in 1287 [...] The building probably dates from the 12th century, but in the late Middle Ages the nave seems to have been lengthened and the porch and tower added [...] There is a plain, probably 12th-century, font."
