There is an entry for Faldbury [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SO9946/fladbury/] [accessed 24 September 2014]; it reports a priest and church lands in it. Miller (1890) notes the Norman base of the tower, but mentions no font in this church. The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 3, 1913) notes: "There was possibly a church at Fladbury in 1086, as there was then a priest there. [...] The advowson has always belonged to the see of Worcester. [...] A church stood here in the 12th century, but of this building only the tower remains [...] The altar table, marble reredos, stone pulpit and font are all of recent date." English Heritage (1965) reports a "a Perpendicular-style font of c1850". Brooks & Pevsner (2007) give the date of the modern font as "c. 1848". There appear to be two 19th-century fonts in this church [cf. Images area]. [NB: we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church]
