No individual entry for Wyke Champflower found in the Domesday survey. Phelps (1836) notes: "The font is ancient". Not mentioned in Pevsner (1958). The Church Crawler blog [http://churchcrawler.blogspot.com/2008/06/holy-trinity-wyke-champflower-somerset_5694.html] [accessed 1 October 2009] notes: "The font dates from 1945 but the cover was returned to the rebuilt church in 1623".
