Moreton-in-Marsh / Mortune

There is an entry for Moreton [in-Marsh] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP2032/moreton-in-marsh/] [accessed 18 December 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Gloucester, vol. 6, 1965) notes: "No evidence has been found to support the tradition that the foundations of a building, thought to be of the 12th century and uncovered in the late 19th century, indicate a former site of the church in Moreton. [...] By 1295 there was a graveyard in Moreton [...] and therefore, presumably, a church; the absence from medieval documents of any reference to the church may be explained by the fact that it was a chapel of ease to Bourton-on-the-Hill. [...] An octagonal font, possibly of the 15th century, which stood in the church in the 19th century, [...] had been removed by 1962 [...] The registers of baptisms and burials start in 1643". The later font is noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Font […] 1858-9". The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SP2060832235] notes: "Practically rebuilt in 1858 as a hall church of 3 naves in Decorated style. Tower 1861 [...] font and pulpit also 'muscular', about 1860". Baptismal font of the mid-19th century massive renovation [i.e., re-building] of this church; its design harks back at the 13th-century fonts that had trefoil arches on the sides of the basin overhanging the pedestal base, but with a Victorian flavour. The modern font has two covers: one is tallish, octagonal pyramidal and fairly plain; the other is also octagonal and made of wood, but flat and thick with thick metal work and ring handle atop. [NB: we have no information on the late-medieval font it replaced]
