North Wootton nr. Wells / Utone

There is a entry for this [North] Wootton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/ST5641/north-wootton/] [accessed 9 May 2018], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Kelly's Directory of 1883 reports "the font is Norman". Wade & Wade (1929) report: "The porch contains a curious stoup; the font is Norm[an]". Described in Pevsner (1958): "Very elementary Norman, with cable-moulding at the bottom of the bowl." The Parish of North Wootton St. Peter's web site [http://www.northwootton.com/church.htm] [accessed 12 April 2008] notes "the Norman font, which possibly came from Glastonbury Abbey". The National Monuments Record [Listing NGR: ST5638041803] reports a "Norman tub font with cable banding" in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Somerset, vol. 9, 2006) notes: "North Wootton was a chapelry of Pilton, [...] and had a chapel in the 12th century [...] The church of St. Peter, so dedicated by 1851, (fn. 194) is a small building with aisleless nave that probably dates from the 12th century, chancel, and a west tower [...] The Norman font has cable and chevron designs and an 18th-century cover, probably adapted from the pedestal of a tea table." The font is a crude example, the proportions not quite right and it has a leaning towards a side. The wooden cover consists of a flat and round platform with the Jacobean arrangement of four vertical ribs around a central pivit. The font is located at the west end of the nave.
