Pedmore / Pebbmer / Pebmore / Peuemore / Pevemore

There is an entry for Pedmore [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SO9182/pedmore/] [accessed 22 September 2014]; it reports a priest, but mentions no church in it. Miller (1890) notes "a handsome tympanum of Norman work [...] The font is old, of the 14th century, and was restored when the church was restored 1871." The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 3, 1913) notes: "The font, perhaps of the 15th century, is octagonal, with tracery in the panels on each face, and a thick octagonal stem with no base". English Heritage [Listing NGR: SO9118482129] (1949) reports "a C14 font" in this church. In Pevsner (1968): "Font. Octagonal, with panels with figures of eight. Is that Jacobean?" [NB: the CRSBI (2008) entry for Pedmore points out that some of the stones from the original 12th-century church here show some stylistic resemblances between carving on the tympanum, particularly the forward-facing lion's head, with a capital in the cloister at Reading Abbey (see Stone 19.., pl.37a), as well as to the font at Holt and the upper stem of the font at Broome"].
