Font Notes:
There are two entries for Evenlode [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP2229/evenlode/] [accessed 24 September 2014], but neither of them mentions a cleric or church in it. Miller (1890) notes: "The church was built in the 12th century [...] the font is 14th century, late." A font here is described in the Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 3, 1913): "The church of Evenlode is first mentioned in 1270 [...] Late in the 12th century the church consisted of a nave with a narrower chancel, but towards the end of the 14th century the church was largely rebuilt, the south aisle added and windows inserted, the western tower being erected a few years later about the year 1400. [...] The 15th-century octagonal font has quatrefoil panels on its faces, and beneath these, on the chamfered undercutting, are floral bosses, alternating with shields, one of which is charged with two ragged staves set upright." Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Font. Octagonal, with the usual quatrefoils and fleurons."
