There are two entries for Croome [Croome d'Abitot and Earls Croome] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/XX0000/croome-dabitot-and-earls-croome/] [accessed 23 September 2014]; neither of which mentions a cleric or a church in it. Miller *1890) notes a "church chiefly of modern architecture, and of an early date [...] The font, of Caen stone, is modern." The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 3, 1913) notes: "The nave and chancel are those of a 12th-century church, which remained practically untouched till the first half of the 19th century", but does not mention a font in it; the interior plan of the church, however, shows a font -probably the 19th-century one- beneath the western gallery, on the south side. Brooks & Pevsner (2007) confirm that the font and pews are from 1869. The font consists of a cylindrical basin with a band of vine decoration towards the bottom, mounted on a cluster of columns with mouldings; a Victorian version of an Early English font. [NB: we have no information on the medieval font]
