There is an entry for Bawdrip [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/ST3439/bawdrip/] [accessed 9 April 2018], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Somerset, vol. 6, 1992) notes: "Bawdrip church was recorded c. 1195 […] The church of St. Michael the Archangel, so dedicated by 1330 […] but later known as St. Michael and All Angels […] The medieval font and floor tiles were removed in 1865". The National Monuments Record, English Heritage [Listing NGR: ST3414639586] reports "Cl9 pulpit, pews, font, organ and stone reredos" in this church. No font mentioned in Pevsner (1958). [NB: we have no information on the whereabouts of the [late-13th century?] font removed in 1865].
