No entry found for Eaton-under-Heywood in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Shropshire, vol. 10, 1998) notes: "The confirmation of parochial rights over Upper Millichope to Wenlock priory c. 1115 may be related to the earliest evidence of a church at Eaton, its Norman fabric […] A small nave, forming the western part of the present church, was probably built in the 12th century. The present long chancel was built c. 1200 […] fittings include a tub font probably Norman (cover c. 1872)." Much in the same terms in Newman & Pevsner (2006): "Norman tub, with a large, coarse cover of 1872." [NB: is the lower half of the font a later replacement?]
