Burmington / Burdintone

There is entry for Burmington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP2637/burmington/] [accessed 19 December 2014], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Kelly's Directory of Warwickshire for 1896 reports "an ancient font" in Burmington church. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 5, 1949) notes: "There is a fair amount of medieval masonry in the church walls perhaps dating from as early as the 13th century, but the only ancient architectural detail surviving is part of the chancel arch of c. 1200. The church had fallen into decay and the nave was rebuilt in 1693; it formerly had a central tower, 16 ft. square, but this was then abolished and the chancel reduced in size. [...] A further very complete restoration was also carried out in the 19th century when all the windows, doorways, and roofs were renewed, the bell-turret added, and other work done. [...] The font, a plain one of flower-pot shape, is probably medieval work re-tooled and stands on a chamfered base." English Heritage [Listing NGR: SP2636237946] (1966) reports: "Font is possibly medieval, re-worked".
