Beercrocombe / Beer Crocombe / Bere

There is an entry for Beercrocombe [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/ST3220/beercrocombe/] [accessed 19 February 2026]; it mentions neither priest nor church in it. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: ST3256220416] notes: "Anglican parish church, C13, C14, predominantly C15, restored late C19 [...] Octagonal font under the tower". The present baptismal font in this church consists of an octagonal basin decorated with quatrefoil panels on the sides, and a graded underbowl chamfer; raised on a plain octagonal stem, and a moulded lower base. It probably dates to the late-Victorian rnovation of the church in 1897. The open-work cover may be of the same date. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original 13th-century building, or of the later, 15th-century church]
