No individual entry found for Bream / Breem in the Domesday survey. A manuscript written by the Revd' Ernest Eales in 1902 [https://web.archive.org/web/20100901234646/http://www.breamvillage.co.uk/4.html#] [accessed 12 December 2018] notes: "The Piscina in the North wall of the Chancel is pre-reformation (15th century). In 1618 The ancient chapel of St. James, Bream, was apparently in the hands of the Crown before this date, and was by letters patent of 16 James 1viz. June 30th 1618". The entry for the parish of Newland in the Victoria County History (Gloucester, vol. 5, 1996) notes the 1824 re-building of a chapel at Bream, in which "The font has an octagonal bowl on a slender pillar and apparently dates from the 17th century."
