There is an entry for Redmarley [d'Abitot] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SO7531/redmarley-dabitot/] [accessed 29 September 2014]; it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Miller (1890) writes: "The church was rebuilt, excepting the tower, 1855 [...] the font is modern", and gives "Ade de Hernwynton ... 1305" as the first recorded rector of the old church. The Victoria County History (Gloucester, vol. 3, 1913) notes: "The first mention of the church of Redmarley occurs in 1290, when the Bishop of Worcester dedicated three altars there. [...] The timber south porch and the octagonal stone font are both modern"; the VCH (ibid.) further notes that the baptismal register starts in 1542. English Heritage [Listing NGR: SO7522731302] (1954) reports an "Octagonal stone font with blind tracery, on stem". Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "By Niblett the octagonal stone font" [i.e., Francis Niblett, responsible for the 1855-18856 renovation of this church]. [NB: we have no information on the original font from the medieval church]
