Wickhampton / Wicha'tuna

There are two entries for Wickhampton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG4205/wickhampton/] [accessed 22 May 2014], but neither mentions a church or cleric in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "William de Corton and Clementia his wife, as trustees, settled on Sir William de Gerberge of Wickhampton, and Joan his wife, 7 messuages, a mill, 2 carucates of land, — of meadow, 300 of marsh, with 50s. rent in this town, Tunstal, Halvergate, Mouton, &c. with the advowson of Wickhampton church, for their lives and in tail. [[...] William de Jerbridge was living in the 24th of Henry III" [i.e., 1240] [...] The Church is a rectory, dedicated to St. Andrew." [NB: there appear to be several related William de Gerberge [aka Gerberga / Gerbridge / Gerbrygg / Gerbrygge / Jerbridge], so it is difficult to assign the earliest date of the church based on the transaction ca. 1240 above]. The present octagonal font in this church is of 13th-century design -an octagonal basin raised on a columnar base- but dates probably from the 19th-century restoration [NB: the fabric of the church goes back to Norman times, but we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church]
