Great Comberton / Cumbrincgtune / Cumbrintune / Cumbrittone / Cvmbrintvne / Magna Cumbrintone / Major Cumberton

There are three entries for [Great and Little] Combertone [varian spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/XX0000/great-and-little-comberton/] [accessed 7 October 2014]; one of them, in the lordship of Gilbert, son of Turold, reports a priest in it. Miller (1890) reports: "The chancel was rebuilt 1861, some of the oak seats are very old, probably of the 13th century. The font is modern." The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 4, 1924) notes: "The first mention of the church occurs in 1268, when Ankaret Beauchamp held it. [...] Some of the rubble masonry of the nave may perhaps be of early date, but the church appears to have been almost entirely rebuilt in the 14th century, beginning at the east end. [...] The early 15th-century font, under the tower, has an octagonal bowl, each face having a quatrefoil panel and a blank shield, a moulded necking and base." In Brooks & Pevsner (2007).
