Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "W[iclewood] [h]ad two churches; the first was dedicated to All the Saints [...] St. Andrew's church is now dilapidated; it stood in the same churchyard; it was in the patronage of the abbey of Bromholm [...] The Church now standing, is that dedicated to All the Saints; it hath only one isle, which is covered with lead, and there are two bells." The two Domesday entries (fol. 94: 'Wiclewrda' - fol. 258: 'Wiclurde') cited in Blomefield (ibid.) mention neither church nor priest in them, but he notes a rector of St. Andrew's by 1202, while the first recorded vicar of All Saints', 'John of Wiclewood' is dated 1300. The font here is described in Pevsner & Wilson (1999): "C15, octagonal, with shields in barbed quatrefoils." Noted and illustrated in Knott (2005). The pedestal base is decorated with mouldings and cinquefoil panels; on a two-step plinth that appears modern. The wooden cover is an octagonal pyramid with crenellated platform, crocketed arrises and floral finial; it appears to be 17th-century. [NB: we have no information on either of the fonts from the two original churches here].
