We found no entry for this Berrow in the Domesday survey. A font here is n as Norman font in Noake (1868). Miller (1890) reports a Norman font in this church. The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 3, 1913) notes: "At the time of the Domesday Survey BERROW was evidently included in Overbury, of which parish it was a chapelry. [...] The chapel of Berrow was probably built by one of the lords of the manor [...] It was recognized as a chapel of Overbury in 1194 [...] The mid-12th-century church consisted of an aisleless nave and chancel, but of this only the north nave wall remains. The present chancel replaced the earlier one in the 14th century, the chancel arch being removed. The tower dates from the 15th century, [...] The font is circular, with two rows of cable ornament encircling the bowl". English Heritage [Listing NGR: SO7938134278] (1968) reports: "The font is Norman and of cauldron shape with two rows of cable ornament." In Hartwell & Pevsner (2007). Described and illustrated in the CRSBI (2014): "Cauldron shape. The bowl has a band of cable moulding on the lower half of the bowl and a band of beaded cable just below the rim. Base and plinth are modern."
