Hunningham / Huningeham

There are two entries for Hunningahm [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP3768/hunningham/] [accessed 28 January 2015], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 6, 1951) notes: "Geoffrey Corbicun between 1161 and 1170 granted his chapel of Hunningham to one Richard, his clerk. [...] This was presumably little more than a private manorial chapel, as it was apparently a later Sir Geoffrey Corbicun, 'in King John's time', who gave to Edmund, rector of Wappenbury (within which parish the vill of Hunningham lay), a messuage and land and all the tithes of his fee here for the maintenance of a priest to celebrate in the chapel three days in the week and on special festivals; the reason being the dangerous nature of the approach to Wappenbury church when the Leam was in flood [...] It dates from the latter part of the 13th century [...] Opposite the south door is a late-14th-century font of white sandstone, which has a circular basin with eight round shafts projecting from its face, dividing it into as many panels, which are decorated with foliated designs of different patterns, the rim moulding being carried round the shafts to form capitals. The underside of the basin is moulded, the stem circular on a base of three graduated splays. It stands on an octagonal step with a square one on the west side."
