There is an entry for Edgcote [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP5047/edgcote/] [accessed 14 January 2016], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. There is a holy-water stoup in an arched recess by the west entrance. There are two fonts in this church, both modern; the 18th-century font, now disused is made of alabaster in the shape of an urn; the font in use appears Victorian. [NB: we have no information on the original font of the early-13th century church here]
