Lower Slaughter / Sclostre

There is an entry for [Lower] Slaughter [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP1622/lower-slaughter/] [accessed 6 October 2014], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Modern baptismal font consisting of a cylindrical basin decorated with a band of nail-head and four floral motifs inscribed in trefoiled windows on the sides; raised on an octagonal stem and an octagonal-to-square lower base. The wooden cover is flat and round, with metal decoration; appears modern. The font may probably be dated to the 1860s renovation of the building. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Gloucester, vol. 6, 1965) notes the existence of a chapel-of-ease or parish church here since the mid 13th century, "almost completely rebuilt in 1867", but we have no information of the original font of this church.
