Bratton Seymour / Broctune

There is an entry for Bratton [Seymour] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/ST6729/bratton-seymour/] [accessed 18 April 2018], but it mentions neither cleric not church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Somerset, vol. 7, 1999) notes: "In or before 1107 Gerard of Bratton gave the church, a virgate of land, tithes, and customs to Bath priory, a grant confirmed twice in the next half century [...] The parish church of St. Nicholas, dedicated to St. Giles in 1228, […] and to the Holy Trinity in the later 18th century […] The fabric dates from the 12th century and includes a south doorway with zigzag decoration, the outer arch of the porch with reused material perhaps from a previous chancel arch, a plain font, and fragments of 12th-century carving incorporated in the nave walls." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: ST6771130078] reports: "C13 font, a very low tulip bowl on turned base." Not mentioned in Pevsner (1958). The plinth and the wooden cover are modern.
