Harvington / Hereforda / Herefordtun-juxta-Avene / Herefortune / Herferthun / Herfortune / Hervertun / Hervyngton

There is an entry for Harvington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [folio 173v] [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP0548/harvington/] [accessed 24 September 2014], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Miller (1890) notes: "The tower is thought to be Saxon", butmentions no font in this church. The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 3, 1913) notes: "According to the register of Worcester Priory, Deneberht, Bishop of Worcester, gave the church of Harvington to the priory at the same time as he gave the manor [...] At the beginning of the 9th century [...] The earliest existing remains belong to the 12th century or earlier, and the church at that date was considerably smaller than the present building, the nave being about 16 ft. wide. The extreme height of the early nave, the west wall of which is still clearly visible, would even suggest a pre-Conquest date, but the earliest detail, that of the tower (which has been rebuilt in recent years), is of the first quarter of the 12th century. [...] The circular tub-font at the west end of the nave is of doubtful date." Brooks & Pevsner (2007) date It Norman.
