No entry for this Liddington found in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Rutland, vol. 2, 1935): "The church of Liddington is not mentioned in the Domesday Survey, but it was confirmed to the Dean and Canons of Lincoln by Pope Alexander III in 1163 [...] No portion of the [present] building is earlier than the 14th century [...] The font has a plain square bowl, moulded on the underside, on a modern stem and base. Its date is uncertain, but it has a good Jacobean spire cover with ball termination." Pevsner (1984) does not mention the font but notes the cover: "Jacobean, octagonal, and steeply pyramidal."
