Kingweston / Chinwardestune / Kenwardston

There is an entry for Kingweston [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/ST5230/kingweston/] [accessed 31 January 2018], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Handbook for travellers… (1869) notes the modern church "rebuilt by Mr. Dickinson (Giles, architect)", but "The Norman door, piscina and font are relics of the former church". Wade & Wade (1929) report: "The doorway and font of an earlier Norm[an] church are still preserved". The baptismal font consists of a roughly cylindrical basin decorated with a roll moulding at the lower rim, a plain concave chamferred underbowl and a cylindrical pedestal base decorated with a roll moulding in the cntre-ring position. The wooden cover is round and flat, with a carved rim, and with metal decorations and ring handle; probably Victorian, of the mid-19th century re-building of the church. A recent [2007] photograph of the font in the context of the church interior by Phil Draper can be found at http://www.wishful-thinking.org.uk/genuki/SOM/Kingsweston/AllSaints2.html [accessed 25 March 2008]. The entry for this church in Images of England [http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=262907] [accessed 31 January 2018] reports: "towards west end fine C12 font, plain bowl, moulded turned shaft and base"
