There is an entry for Deuxhill [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SO6987/deuxhill/] [accessed 7 July 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Anderson (1864) mentions an early chapel of ca. 1115, and a chaplain of Middleton Priors and Deuxhill in 1278. The National Gazetteer of 1868 reports: "The church is an old rubble stone structure." The Victoria County History (Shropshire, vol. 10, 1998) notes: "Wenlock priory had probably founded a manorial chapel at Deuxhill by c. 1115 when it secured its independence from Glazeley church; some 12th-century fabric seems to have survived to the 19th century […] The rubble stone church, of unknown dedication, […] having lost its chancel by the 16th century […] The church was said in 1759 to be very ruinous but in 1793 and 1870 seems to have been in reasonable repair. […] After 1875, however, parishioners resorted to the new church at Glazeley and their own, disused, was pulled down in 1886 […] A font and clock were mentioned in 1856, when the church was said to be in 'good repair'." Newman & Pevsner (2006) note a font in the churchyard at Glazeley St. Bartholomew's; not clear which of the two medieval churches demolished (Deuxhill and Glazeley) that font belonged to -- cf. Index entry for Glazeley]
