There are three entris in the Domesday survey for this place [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TF6315/west-winch/] [accessed 5 December 2013] [variant spellings], but neither mentions a church or cleric in it. The earliest mention in Blomefield (1805-1810) of the church of West Winch St. Mary's is in relation to the presentation of Gilbert de Henly to the rectory in 1312. A "stone font" appears in an inventory of this church contents done ca. 1861 and reported in Eller (1861) [NB: Eller (ibid.) notes the church as Early English, from ca. 1180, and Perpendicular; of the font itself, writes Eller, "a simple octagonal font, of the Tudor style" that stands within the belfry arch, but that originally stood at the end of the aisle, whence it was moved closer to the west entrance]. Reported in White's Directory of 1883: "the font stands near the west door". Noted in Pevsner & Wilson (1999): "C15, plain, octagonal."
