Corton Denham / Corfetone

There is an entry for Corton [Denham] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/ST6322/corton-denham/] [accessed 18 April 2018], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it]. Kelly's Directory of 1883 mentions a font "of Bath stone", referring obviously to a modern replacement font. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Somerset, vol. 7, 1999) notes: "There was a church in Corton in the 12th century [...] The medieval building, evidently dating from the 12th century and dedicated to St Andrew by 1543, […] was demolished in 1869 because it was too small and dilapidated […] and its 12thcentury font was destroyed [...] The present church of ST. ANDREW [...] was consecrated in 1870". A foot note [157] in the VCH entry reads: " S.R.S. xiii, p. 5; Taunton, Som. Studies Libr., Pigott colln., drawing of font, 1838." The entry for this church in Historic England [IoE Number: 261789] reports a "small octagonal font with black marble shafts to corners" here, quite likely the one introduced in the 19th-century re-building of the church here.
