Badger / Beggesoure / Beghesoure

There is an entry for Badger [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SO7699/badger/] [accessed 30 June 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Anderson (1864) notes: "This church was founded in the earlier part of the twelfth century" but "did not appear in the assessment of parishes in 1341" [perhaps because its value fell below the assessable minimum?]. The Victoria County History (Shropshire, vol. 10, 1998) notes: "There was a priest, and so presumably a church, at Badger by c. 1174, and the living was called a rectory in 1246. [...] The church of S[t]. G[iles], so known by c. 1740 [...] was rebuilt in 1833-4." The present font is noted in Newman & Pevsner (2006): "Font. 1887. Alabaster copy of the font formerly in Wren's St Bride, Fleet Street" [NB: whereabouts of Wren's fon unknown; London St. Bride's has a font dated 1615 [cf. Index entry]]. [NB: we have no information on the 12th-century font from the old church]
