Shipton nr. Much Wenlock / Scipetune

There is an entry for this Shipton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SO5691/shipton/] [accessed 8 July 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Anderson (1864) writes: "This church is first heard of about 1110. The Victoria County History (Shropshire, vol. 10, 1998) notes: "Parts of Shipton church are 12th-century. [...] A certain Grenta's claim that Shipton was a separate parish from Much Wenlock was dismissed c. 1110, [...] but Roger Owayn was called parson of Shipton in the mid 13th century. [...] The small church of ST. James, so dedicated by 1535 [...] The chancel arch dates from the 12th century [...] The tower was added c. 1200 or a little later", and reports "a small pedestal font, the ancient one having been abandoned outside." Newman & Pevsner (2006) note the Norman nave and chancel arch, but do not mention a font in this church. The entry for Shipton in English Heritage (1970) reports: "The plain tub font is lead-lined and C12, and stands on a C19 octagonal base and plinth."
