There is an entry for Heavitree [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SX9392/heavitree/] [accessed 28 August 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Oliver (1840-2) writes: "the font, which Mr. Polwhele describes as clumsy, rude, and uncouth" [Oliver footnotes his reference to Polwhele's History of Devonshire, 1794, p. 406]. Stabb (1908- ), however, mentions a modern font in this church, which must date to the major renovation of this church in 1845-6, as reported in White's Directory of 1850. It is quite likely that the old font may have been disposed of at the time of that renovation. The entry for this church in Historic England [List entry Number: 1333344] notes: "There are two fonts: that in use probably dates from the 1840s work and has a traceried octagonal bowl: the other font appears to be medieval and has a squatter bowl but also with tracery."
