Chipstable / Cipestaple

There is an entry for Chipstable [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/ST0427/chipstable/] [accessed 5 March 2018], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this parisch in the Victoria County History (Somerset, vol. 5, 1985) notes: "Ownership of the church of Chipstable was confirmed to the monks of Muchelney in 1239 [...] The medieval building, comprising chancel, nave with south aisle and south porch, and west tower, with windows of the 15th and early 16th centuries, [...] was demolished except for the tower in 1869, and was replaced by a building in the Geometrical style by Benjamin Ferrey"; there is no mention of a font in the VCH entry. The present baptismal in this church is a 19th-century replacement of the original 15th-century font. The modern font consists of an octagonal basin with alternate plain and carved sides and a pronouned moulding all around the lower side; raised on an octagonal stem and splaying lower base. Octagonal plinth with kneeling extension. The wooden cover is octagonal and flat; modern. [NB: we have no information on the late-medieval font of this church]
