There is an entry for Pauntley [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SO7429/pauntley/] [accessed 7 December 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Gloucester, vol. 12, 2010) notes: "Pauntley church was a chapel confirmed among the possessions of Cormeilles abbey (Eure) in 1181 [...] Although Pauntley continued as a chapelry of Newent in the mid 16th century, [...] it then was sometimes described as a separate vicarage [...] The ornate decoration of the church's chancel arch and south doorway, which have capitals and a range of ornament characteristic of the 'Dymock school', [...] indicates the high quality of Pauntley's early 12thcentury chapel. [...] dedicated to St John the Evangelist by 1423"; a visitation towards the end of the 14th century reported in the VCH entry (ibid.) found "several parishioners absented themselves from church, the chaplain was non-resident, the church's manse having fallen down through the rector's neglect, the baptistery or font was left unlocked [was this the original medieval font?], and the rector was failing to honour an obligation to supply two processional candles"; the VCH entry (ibid.) reports the donation of a new font by a local farmer, R. Hodges ca. 1848, but no mention is made of a medieval font in it. [NB: we have no information on the whereabouts of the earlier font of this church] A baptismal font of ca. 1848 is noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002). The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SO7492429100] describes the modern font: "Octagonal bowl to font on clustered column, c19 Royal Arms, 1817, in tower base."
