Noted in the Victoria County History (Wiltshire, vol. 12, 1983): "Her gift of Ogbourne St. George church to the abbey of Bec was confirmed by Maud of Wallingford c. 1148. (fn. 164) The church was appropriated c. 1190 by the abbey, which undertook to provide a chaplain to serve the cure [...] The church had been dedicated to St. George by the later 13th century [...] Alterations were made to the chancel in the 14th century and to the whole church in the 15th century or the early 16th [...] Fittings of that period include the font, the north chapel screen, and a brass to Thomas Goddard (d. 1517)". [NB: we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church]
