Wambrook

No entry for Warmbrook found in the Domesday survey. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Somerset, vol. 4, 1978) notes: "The chapel, later church, of Wambrook was first mentioned in a deed of 1215–20 by which Philip of Yarcombe, chaplain, probably the parish priest, acknowledged that the chapel was a member of the prebendal church of Chardstock [...] The chancel is of 13th-century origin but has been much rebuilt in the 19th century. The nave, porches, and tower were all built or rebuilt in the 15th century but are also much restored. There was a bell tower by 1405"; there is no mention of a font in the VCH entry. The National Monuments Record [http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=431569] [accessed 30 September 2009] reports an "Octagonal C13 font with C17 flat ribbed cover" in this church. Not mentioned in Pevsner (1958).
