There are two entries for Peopleton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SO9350/peopleton/] [accessed 15 October 2014], neither of which mentions cleric or priest in it. Miller (1890), who gives the dedication of this church as St. Michael's, notes: "The font is octagonal, late 14th century. The doorway is 13th century." Miller (ibid.) gives the first recorded rector here as "Will'us Aleyn... 1289". The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 4, 1924) notes: "a late 14th or early 15th-century font with plain octagonal bowl and stem and a moulded base." In Brooks & Pevsner (2007).
