Rushbury / Riseberie / Rusburye / Ryssebury

There is an entry for Rushbury [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SO5191/rushbury/] [accessed 24 June 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Shropshire, vol. 10, 1998) however, notes: "The church contains apparently Saxon fabric (fn. 469) and before the Conquest it may have served an area larger than the later, medieval, parish. [...] The oldest fabric, herring-bone work, possibly Saxon, occurs in the lowest courses of the western ends of the north and south nave walls. Inserted through that fabric in the north wall is a tall narrow doorway, probably 12thcentury, with a plain tympanum. About 1200 a new chancel, as long as the nave, was added and a tower of almost the same width; a south doorway was inserted. [...] The tub font is Norman, its elaborate cover 19th-century." Newman & Pevsner (2006) note: "A plain Norman tub on a C20 base."
