There is an entry for Weston[-under-Redcastle] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SJ5628/weston-under-redcastle/] [accessed 11 February 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Anderson (1864) notes an ancient chapel here. Newman & Pevsner (2006) reports a Georgian church modified in 1879. English Heritage [Listing NGR: SJ5650228801] (1987) reports an "octagonal late Perpendicular-style font [...] late C19" in this church. [NB: we have no information on the font of the medieval church]
